title: [Effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid, its agonists and antagonists on uterine smooth muscle].
abstract: Experiments on isolated strips of the rabbit uterus showed the ability of GABA, GABAA-receptor agonist (diazepam) and GABAB-receptor antagonist (phenibut) to inhibit uterine contractility. GABAA-receptor antagonist (bicuculline) had a stimulating effect on contractility. It is assumed that GABA-ergic system plays an important role in the regulation of functional inhibition of contractile activity in the rabbit uterus, with GABA agonists regarded as potential gravidoprotectors in uterine hyperactivity or threatening miscarriage.
