<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid&#039;&#039;&#039; (also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;GHB&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;gamma-hydroxybutyrate&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a naturally occurring [[neurotransmitter]] and a [[psychoactive drug]]. It is found in the [[human body]] and in many other animals. The substance can be used as a [[recreational drug]], as a treatment for [[narcolepsy]], and as a [[supplement]] for bodybuilding.<br /> <br /> ==Chemistry==<br /> Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid is a [[carboxylic acid]] with a four-carbon chain. The third carbon in the chain has a [[hydroxyl]] group attached, hence the name &quot;gamma-hydroxy&quot;. The substance is a weak acid, with a pKa of 4.72. It is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet taste.<br /> <br /> ==Pharmacology==<br /> In the human body, Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid acts as a [[depressant]], slowing down the [[central nervous system]]. It is a [[precursor]] to [[GABA]], a neurotransmitter that inhibits the activity of neurons. This can lead to effects such as relaxation, euphoria, and increased sociability. However, high doses can cause unconsciousness, seizures, and even death.<br /> <br /> ==Medical use==<br /> Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid is used in some countries as a treatment for narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden attacks of sleep. It can also be used to treat [[alcohol withdrawal]] symptoms.<br /> <br /> ==Recreational use==<br /> As a recreational drug, Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid is often used for its euphoric and sedative effects. It is also popular among bodybuilders, as it is believed to stimulate the release of [[growth hormone]].<br /> <br /> ==Legal status==<br /> The legal status of Γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid varies by country. In some places, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is completely illegal.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[GABA]]<br /> * [[Narcolepsy]]<br /> * [[Recreational drug use]]<br /> * [[Bodybuilding supplement]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Psychoactive drugs]]<br /> [[Category:Neurotransmitters]]<br /> [[Category:Carboxylic acids]]<br /> {{Psychoactive drug-stub}}<br /> {{Neurotransmitter-stub}}<br /> {{Carboxylic acid-stub}}</div>
