Oral L-Glutamine Increases GABA Levels.

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Adequate levels of two neurotransmitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, are dependent on an adequate supply of glutamine to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Glutamate does not cross the blood-brain barrier, but glutamine does. Glutamine treatment increases plasma and brain levels of glutamine, and serves as raw material for the production of […]

Biopterin Levels, Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder.

Posted on June 28, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a necessary cofactor for the synthesis by the body of neurotransmitters containing amines (catecholamines), such as dopamine and serotonin. BH4 is needed to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine and to convert tyrosine to L-DOPA. The conversion to L-DOPA is the “rate limiting step,” (the step that controls the speed of the reaction) in […]
