Abstract
1. 1. Whereas the distribution in lobster of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was restricted to nerve and muscle tissues, that of beta-alanine (BA) was more widespread and uniform. 2. 2. In abdominal, thoracic and subesophageal nerve cords and in cleaned peripheral motor nerve fibers, the GABA-BA ratio was 2–5 : 1. 3. 3. In walking leg peripheral nerves, the GABA-BA ratio was generally close to 1 or less than 1. 4. 4. Within abdominal nerve cords, the GABA-BA ratio was appreciably greater than 1 only in interganglionic connectives.
