human body has many receptors, used in communication to release other chemicals, hormones as an example
GABA receptors are on the majority of receptors in the CNS, and control emotion, cognition, pain, sleep and motor function.
others mentioned here are DOPA receptors, and mu receptors--- dopamine and opioids respectively
a receptor may have a combination of several at one site.

an example is progesterone, so important to men and women. Some of the metabolic by products of progesterone block the GABA receptors in women acting as a tranquilizer. Better known as that time of the month. In men the metabolic by products of their progesterone is estrogen, which gives cardiovascular protection against cholesterol build up.

the hormone that controls metabolism and many other functions is cortisol/cortisone, during stress this hormone floods the system and causes high blood pressure, irritability, lack of sleep etc. Also regulates the conversion of thyroid to the isomers that control metabolism t3 and rt3. the ratio of which determines how many calories you burn.

GABA blocks cortisol lowering blood pressure and the effects it has on some of the other metabolic pathways.

There are many articles on it --- if you want to search the internet. I don't post addresses on open forums.

CBD is Mary Jane regardless of what is being said here

CBD and THC are simply isomers of the same chemical. The difference, because of the 3 dimensional structure of the two molecules
called enantiomers, can attach to different sites., CB1 and CB2. THC is a dopamine stimulant, CBD not so much.

If your interested but off the subject--- the current craze of using GLP1 and GIP stimulants, semaglutide, increase cortisol production dramatically. The blogs are full of users, not being able to sleep, cold fingers and nose (increased rt3 production).
These side effects are relieved by taking GABA.

There has been a root used for thousands of years in the world called Ashwagandha, used to relieve stress. Its active ingredient is a
GABA.

During the last 10 years the advances in protein and peptide synthesis has skyrocketed, (semaglutide). GABA is cheap, over the counter and has a wide therapeutic index.

Interesting. Tag.
