National Abortion Federation: Clinic Violence: Butyric Acid Attacks Butyric acid is a clear, colorless liquid with an unpleasant, rancid, vomit-like odor. The goal of introducing butyric acid into a clinic is to disrupt services, close the clinic, and harass patients and staff. Depending on the amount used and how it is introduced into the clinic, butyric acid can cause thousands of dollars of damage, requiring clinics to replace carpeting, furniture, and conduct extensive cleanup of the facility. www.prochoice.org /about_abortion/violence/butyric_acid.asp   (161 words)

Butyric acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Butyric acid is a fatty acid occurring in the form of esters in animal fats and plant oils. Normal butyric acid or fermentation butyric acid is also found as a hexyl ester in the oil of Heracleum giganteum (cow parsnip) and as an octyl ester in parsnip (Pastinaca sativa); it has also been noticed in the fluids of the flesh and in perspiration. The acid is an oily colorless liquid that solidifies at -8 °C; it boils at 164 °C. It is easily soluble in water, ethanol and ether, and is thrown out of its aqueous solution by the addition of calcium chloride. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Butyric_acid   (772 words)

Fatty Acids - Chemical and Physical Structure Butyric acid is a saturated fat, which means that all the carbon bonds in the middle of the chain are "filled" with hydrogen. In butyric acid and other saturated fats, each of the carbon atoms in the middle of the chain is bonded with two hydrogen atoms. The acid end of the molecule is called the "alpha", and its opposite is the "omega" end. www.supplementquality.com /news/fatty_acid_structure.html   (1236 words)

GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid) GABA is a natural calming and anti-epileptic agent in the brain that is manufactured from the amino acid glutamine and glucose. Since GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier very well (i.e., it cannot be transported efficiently into the brain from the bloodstream), virtually all of the GABA found in the brain is manufactured there.

Feminist Majority Newsletter - Fall 1998 article Four clinics in New Orleans, four clinics in Houston, and ten clinics in Florida were attacked with butyric acid. Immediately after the Florida clinics suffered attacks of butyric acid in May, a six-member Feminist Majority Foundation Emergency Response Team traveled to Florida to help clinics stay open.

American Scientist Online - Science that Stinks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Butyric acid, a common ingredient in vomit and foot sweat, for example, evokes an unpleasant reaction from volunteers—unless they "have been clued to think about food," Dalton says. Butyric acid is also present in certain strong cheeses, and when volunteers developed expectations of food, they typically found the odor more bearable, she says. As for the least tolerable smells, the team's research suggests that the smell of "organic decomposition"—rotting flesh and organic decay—is the most universally reviled. www.americanscientist.org /template/AssetDetail/assetid/14758   (711 words)

Product Abstract: Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (Gaba)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Ovarian steroids have direct effects on neurotransmission, exemplified by the binding of certain metabolites of progesterone to the gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA(A)) receptor where they exert a facilitating effect on inhibitory neurotransmission. Serotonin and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) appear to be especially important in this regard. Increased understanding of PMS has enabled the development of specific treatment modalities that, unlike previous prescriptions, have demonstrated efficacy in rigorous and reproducible studies. www.lef.org /prod_hp/abstracts/php-ab048.html   (408 words)
