| 설명 | 국제방사선방호위원회(ICRP)가 1977년 권고에서 방사선방호의 목적으로 채택한 지수로, 단위선량(1 Sv)당 확률적 영향의 발생확률을 추정하여 나타낸 것이다. 생식선 선량에 대한 유전적영향의 발생률(4×10－3/Sv)이나 적색골수선량에 대한 백혈병 발생률(2×10－3/Sv)등 외에 뼈, 허파, 갑상샘, 젖샘, 기타 조직의 위험지수를 측정하여, 확률적 영향의 전신에 있어서 치사위험지수의 합계를 16.5×10－3/Sv로 하였다. 그후 ICRP는 1990년 권고에서 대상이 되는 조직과 장기를 추가하고, 수치 개정을 하면서 명칭도 각목적확률지수라고하였다. 이 권고에 의하면, 치사적 확률적 영향의 확률지수의 합계는, 일반인에 있어 60.0×10－3/Sv이다. |

| gamma aminobutyric acid | <biochemistry> An important amino acid which functions as the most prevalent inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Gamma aminobutyric acid works in partnership with a derivative of Vitamin B-6, pyridoxine, to cross from the axons to the dendrites through the synaptic cleft, in response to an electrical signal in the neuron and inhibits message transmission. This helps control the nerve cells from firing too fast, which would overload the system. The action of gamma aminobutyric acid decreases epileptic seizures and muscle spasms by inhibiting electrical signals in this manner. Studies have shown that the site of action in the brain of benzodiazepams, including Valium, is directly coupled to the brain receptor for gamma aminobutyric acid. Acronym: GABA (05 Jan 1998) |
| gamma aminobutyric acid receptor | <physiology> Ligand gated chloride ion channel forming receptor opened by gamma aminobutyric acid. Two distinct types: A and B. A receptor: One of a family of neurotransmitter receptors with fast intrinsic ion channels that includes the glycine receptor and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Distinct from another major receptor family, the muscarininc acetylcholine receptor and rhodopsin, with no intrinsic ion channel. The A receptor is specifically blocked by bicuculline. It consists of two pairs of protein chains forming an A2B2 complex, the A chains bind benzodiazepine and the B chains bind GABA. The 4 subunits are thought to form a tight group with the chloride channel in the middle. There is considerable similarity between the amino acid sequences of the receptor subunits and those of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor suggesting that both receptors are derived from some evolutionary ancestor. See: amino acid receptor superfamily. B receptor: Brain receptor (80 kD) for the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric acid. Differs from the A receptor both in agonist specificity (baclofen is a specific agonist) and its effects on cells. It modulates intracellular calcium levels through a Go mediated effect on N type calcium channels and also lowers intracellular cAMP levels by an effect on adenylyl cyclase, thereby reducing the secretion of catecholamines.
