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
Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity was measured in the nuclei of the basal ganglia in patients with neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) and controls matched for age and premortem state. In five T D patients, who all had a sudden death, a signifcant decrease in GAD activity was found in t
