muscimol and Hypertrophy

muscimol has been researched along with Hypertrophy in 1 studies

Muscimol: A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies.
muscimol : A member of the class of isoxazoles that is 1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one substituted by an aminomethyl group at position 5. It has been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Amanita.

Hypertrophy: General increase in bulk of a part or organ due to CELL ENLARGEMENT and accumulation of FLUIDS AND SECRETIONS, not due to tumor formation, nor to an increase in the number of cells (HYPERPLASIA).

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects on micturition of the GABA receptor agonists muscimol (selective for GABAA-receptors) and baclofen (selective for GABAB-receptors), given intrathecally and intra-arterially to unanesthetized rats with and without bladder hypertrophy secondary to outflow obstruction, were studied by continuous cystometry."3.68Effects of GABA-receptor stimulation and blockade on micturition in normal rats and rats with bladder outflow obstruction. ( Andersson, KE; Igawa, Y; Mattiasson, A, 1993)
