—GABA levels in rat whole brain were compared following three methods of sacrifice: rapid microwave fixation, decapitation into liquid nitrogen, and decapitation at 20°C. Levels were shown to be identical in animals sacrificed by microwave fixation and decapitation into liquid nitrogen. In contrast, rats decapitated at 20°C had 18 per cent higher GABA levels when determined immediately post‐mortem and 48 per cent higher levels after 30 min at 20°C. Microwave treatment prevented these post‐mortem increases. The increase in GABA after decapitation at 20°C was even greater in hypothalamus than in whole brain.
