Abstract

The effects of acute and chronic pentobarbital treatment on the incorporation of 3H-lysine into rat brain synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) were examined by means of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The data suggest the major effects of both drug treatments are found in a unique population of SPM derived from a light population of nerve ending particles (NEP). These light NEP preferentially accumulate labelled GABA, suggesting this fraction is enriched in GABA containing nerve terminals.
