| | Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Multistate Outbreak of Poisonings A |
 | | The focus of public education efforts should be that products such as GHB that are promoted for physiologic effects act on the body as drugs. | | | GHB may potentiate the effects of narcotic analgesics and skeletal muscle relaxants and may be potentiated by the actions of benzodiazepines and neuroleptics (5). | | | A causal association between use of GHB and these poisonings is also supported by the rapid onset of symptoms after ingestion of GHB, more severe and prolonged symptoms associated with larger doses of GHB, and occurrence of illness in persons who have not used other drugs. |

| | Recently I had a pair of disturbing experiences combining empathogens with GHB, disturbing enough to warrant a loud and clear warning from the other side. | | | At the tail end of the experience, after my partner had gone to sleep, I decided to take the edge off by taking some GHB and relaxing myself to sleep. | | | I'd had perhaps dozens of experiences with GHB by itself prior to these events, enough to feel very comfortable with its general trajectory in me. I find the GHB intoxication very enjoyable typically - disinhibiting, sensual, giddy and good-natured. |

| | GHB: The First Authentic Antidepressant |
| | At the center of Laborits explanation of the therapeutic nature of GHB-induced sleep is what he terms the neuron-neuroglia as a metabolic and functional pair. | | | One aspect of GHB that we haven't even touched on is that it actually induces a state of hibernation and lowers body temperature by 2-3 degrees during sleep. | | | Virtually all of the known properties of GHB, including its slowing of heartbeat and respiration, mild hypothermia, muscle relaxation, lowered brain and muscle energy consumption, increasing of the deep and restorative sleep phases (stage 3 and 4 slow-wave sleep), increasing growth hormone output, to name just a few, are involved in this integrated regeneration reflex. |

| | GHB and alcohol serve many similar social functions to put inhibited people at ease, to lower interpersonal barriers to communication, to relax tension, etc. When GHB and alcohol are both present, people have an added burden of having to think about what they are drinking, where they would normally not bother. | | | GHB is a powerful inducer of natural sleep (page 7-8) and may be useful for our aging population (page 16). | | | The scientific and medical consensus on GHB established by conscientious laboratory and clinical investigation of the applications of GHB to enhance health and decrease suffering can only be sensationalized to a limited degree before all pretense at accuracy and honesty must be abandoned. |

| | Diabetes Care: Tests of Glycemia in Diabetes. @ HighBeam Research |
| | GHb values in patients with diabetes are a continuum; they range from normal in a small percentage of patients whose average blood glucose levels are in or close to the normal range to markedly elevated values, e.g., two- to threefold increases, in some patients, reflecting an extreme degree of hyperglycemia. | | | Unlike GHb, GSP has not yet been shown to be related to the risk of the development or progression of chronic complications of diabetes. | | | Since GHb reflects a mean glycemia over the preceding 2-3 months, measurement approximately every 3 months is required to determine whether a patient's metabolic control has remained continuously within the target range. |

| | Erowid GHB Vaults : Pharmacology : The Neuropharmacology of GHB, by BilZ0r (v2 Jan 2004) |
| | The GHB receptor is a novel G-protein coupled receptor1, which is widely distributed throughout the cortex and certain subcortical locations (most notably the hippocampus, amygdala, septum, basal ganglia and substantia nigra) (Hechler et al., 1992). | | | At low doses, GHB is binding almost exclusively to the GHB receptor, a receptor which, through pathways not yet understood, stimulates the release of glutamate (the major excitatory neurotransmitter) in the cortex. | | | After the initial dosing, the GABA-B receptor was being stimulated, leading to sleep, but as the GHB was being metabolised and the concentration in the body dropped, the GABA-B receptor stopped being activated, and the excititory GHB receptor became the main receptor being activated. |
