Seminal plasma gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in normospermic men.
Serum and seminal gamma aminobutyric (GABA) concentrations were documented in 10 healthy volunteers. Mean (+/- S.E.M.) GABA concentrations were 0.39 +/- 0.03 microM in serum and 103.3 +/- 28.2 microM in seminal fluid. These differences are in keeping with data reported for the rat and rabbit. A regulatory role for GABA in the reproductive tract is postulated.
