Evaluating the impact of heat stress and altered glycemic state on plasma ɣ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) in lactating Holstein cows

Heat stress (HS) induces hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemia in lactating dairy cows. We hypothesized that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) participates in the regulation of this altered glycemic state as it is produced by the pancreatic beta cells and has a stimulatory effect on pancreatic secretion of ins...
