Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To substantiate a previously reported disturbance of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in chronic schizophrenia, plasma growth hormone (GH) response to a direct GABA agonist (baclofen, 10 mg) was assessed in 12 unmedicated chronic schizophrenic males and 10 sex- and age-matched healthy controls."9.06Baclofen-induced growth hormone secretion is blunted in chronic schizophrenics: neuroendocrine evidence for a GABA disturbance in schizophrenia. ( Forziati, D; Iovino, M; Maj, M; Monteleone, P; Steardo, L; Veltro, F, 1988)
" I report a patient who developed the syndrome during treatment for schizophrenia with the antipsychotic agent molindone hydrochloride."7.68Neuroleptic-induced "painful legs and moving toes" syndrome: successful treatment with clonazepam and baclofen. ( Sandyk, R, 1990)
"In early 1975, surprising therapeutic effects of baclofen (Lioresal) in patients suffering from severe, chronic schizophrenia were reported from Sweden."7.65[Neuroleptic effect of baclofen in chronic schizophrenia (author's transl)]. ( Kuhn, R, 1976)
"Baclofen was superior to placebo in the treatment of anxiety, which is of particular interest in view of the recent theories on the mechanism of action of benzodiazepines."6.64A double-blind trial of baclofen against placebo in the treatment of schizophrenia. ( Andersen, B; Bahr, B; Eliassen, HM; Gulmann, NC, 1976)

( Forziati, D; Iovino, M; Maj, M; Monteleone, P; Steardo, L; Veltro, F, 1988)
"A role for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia was first suggested by Eugene Roberts in 1972."4.76The interaction between GABA and dopamine: implications for schizophrenia. ( Garbutt, JC; van Kammen, DP, 1983)
" We previously reported that baclofen, the prototypical GABA(B) agonist, elicits antipsychotic-like effects in the rat paradigm of prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle, a highly validated animal model of schizophrenia."3.74Activation of GABA(B) receptors reverses spontaneous gating deficits in juvenile DBA/2J mice. ( Bortolato, M; Castelli, MP; Fà, M; Frau, R; Gessa, GL; Marrosu, F; Mereu, G; Orrù, M; Piras, AP; Puligheddu, M; Tuveri, A, 2007)
