Since the decarboxylation of glutamic acid into y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) involves a release of COz, we easily understand the widespread use of manometric methods for the determination of glutamic acid decarboxylase activity (GADA) (l-13,29,30). Other investigators (14-16) have chosen to measure G

## Abstract Interpretation of biochemical measurements in the human brain after death is complicated by a variety of premortem, perimortem, and postmortem factors. The activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in particular has been found to vary considerably among human brains. In contrast to
In a previous work we found that the activity of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is decreased in comatose cirrhotic rats after chronic treatment with CCl4. In the present report we studied the
A simple method was developed for the assay of L-glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) in brain homogenate and subcel~ul~ fractions. In a dual tube assay system, the incubation mixture (0.1 ml) was placed in an inner disposable culture tube (6 x 50 mm) which was then placed in an outer reusable culture tube
