We investigated the involvement of γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors in the neuroprotective effect of γ-glutamylethylamide (theanine), a component of Japanese green tea, following a 4-h middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in mice. Theanine (1 mg/kg) reduced the size of the cerebral infarct a...
