GABA administration ameliorates Sjogrens Syndrome in two different mouse models
-
Sjogrens = autoimmune damage to glands that causes extreme dry mouth & eyes
GABA helps a lot preventatively and after the damage too in this model https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8773584/
When assessed weeks later, GABA-treated mice had greater saliva and tear production, as well as quicker times to salvia flow, in both SS mouse models. {used preventatively or after symptoms}
Given that GABA-treatment preserved saliva and tear production which are the most salient symptoms of SS and is safe for consumption, it may provide a new approach to help ameliorate SS.20mg / ml water female mice,
if they drank around 5ml water,
100mg per mouse per day , so ~4g per kg, so very high dose human equivalent 20g+ (probably not a great dose as lower can cause blood pressure changes dizziness). but here its spaced out in waterIf someone has this considering the great outcomes might be worth trying a lower dose for a few weeks to see if its helpful. 500mg is active in the body going by other study areas & a couple grams has been used for lowering seizures in humans
Btw theres some fuckery going on with some popular supplements (idk if it was swanson or if it was the place i got it from), but one i got didnt dissolve in water (not gaba)

Things like this keep me up at night. How many kilos of powders from china have I eaten over the years? I don't even want to think about it. Horrifying
