Common_Name | 4-Hydroxybutyric acid |
Description | 4-hydroxybutyric acid may cause bradycardia and dyskinesias.
The precise function of GHB in the body is not clear. It is an immediate precursor to GABA, a neurotransmitter which regulates awakeness, physical activity and sleep. As GABA cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, GHB obtained from food may be used for converting to GABA. GHB protects cells from oxygen starvation, which might explain presence of the compound in vital organs. GHB was also found to have neuroprotective capabilities. |
