muscimol and Muscle Relaxation

muscimol has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 13 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.

Muscle Relaxation: That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of three specific GABA receptor agonists, muscimol, progabide, and gaboxadol, on kindled seizures were evaluated in amygdala-kindled rats."3.67Evaluation of different GABA receptor agonists in the kindled amygdala seizure model in rats. ( Löscher, W; Schwark, WS, 1985)
"Pretreatment with bicuculline (GABAA antagonist) turned them to relaxation."2.67gamma-Aminobutyric acid enhances the tone of human internal anal sphincter. ( Fujita, S; Kusunoki, M; Sakanoue, Y; Shoji, Y; Utsunomiya, J; Yamamura, T; Yanagi, H, 1991)
" Administration of a 1 mM solution of muscimol (based on dose-response data) into this well abolished the reflex pressor response to contraction (change in mean arterial blood pressure before was 47 +/- 7 mmHg and after muscimol was 3 +/- 2 mmHg)."1.31Dorsal horn administration of muscimol abolishes the muscle pressor reflex.
