Abstract excerpt
In order to study the influence of ethanol on GABAergic neuronal expression in the chick embryonic brain, activity of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD; a GABAergic neuronal marker) was examined in whole brain derived from embryonic chick following the in ovo administration of ethanol. GAD activity was already detectable by 3 days of embryogenesis and exhibited a logarithmic increase up to embryonic day 16 (E16). By...
