Propentofylline (HWA 285) [3-methyl-l-(5'-oxohexyl)-7-propylxanthine] is in in vitro experiments a good inhibitor of cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases in the rat brain and cerebral microvessels. In in vivo experiments it modulates cAMP and cGMP systems and GABA concentration in four examined structur

## Abstract Several lines of evidence have implicated prenatal stress and the hippocampal GABA system in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, and prenatal stress is believed to increase the risk for schizophrenia through alterations of this neurotransmitter. To explore this hypothesis, we treated
Internasal administration of k-aminobutyric acid (GABA) induced prolonged behaviour changes and the appearance of three new compounds absent in the brain extracts of control rats. Two peptides associated with GABA administration were isolated and sequenced: Thr-Tyr-Thr-Phe, which corresponds to a k-
