GABA, Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is an amino acid classified as a neurotransmitter (Aneurotransmitter is a substance that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse. A synapseis a region where nerve impulses are transmitted across axon terminals.)GABA's high concentration in the hypothalamus suggests this amino acid plays asignificant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function. The hypothalamus is a region of theposterior section of the brain and is the regulating center for visceral (instinctive)functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and the activity of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland effecting all hormonal functions ofthe body. One primary hormone of concern to the athlete is growth hormone (GH) and itsvarious hormonal constituents.The amino acid GABA has been shown in numerous studies to promote significant increasesin plasma growth hormone levels.
