Abstract
The hypothesis that the administration of aminooxyacetic acid, a competitive inhibitor of aminobutyrate aminotransferase, might allow gamma-aminobutyric acid to cross the blood-brain barrier was tested by analyzing the brains of rats for this compound after intraperitoneal injection of aminooxyacetic acid, or a mixture of both acids, and by observing behavioral and physiological changes in cats after similar drug administrations. The results do not support the postulate that gamma-aminobutyric acid enters the brain more readily after administration of aminooxyacetic acid.
