Abstract

Serum levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)-like activity were measured by a radioreceptor assay in 22 healthy subjects and 170 patients with liver diseases. Levels were within normal limits (mean±SEM in healthy controls 0 ·52±0·04 μmol/l; range 0·2-0·8 μmol/l GABA equivalents) in most patients with uncomplicated acute viral hepatitis, compensated chronic hepatitis, and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In 96% of patients with compensated (non-PBC) cirrhosis levels were slightly high (1·5+0·06 μmol/l). In 4 patients with.
