It is shown that the total Gamow-Teller strength in the nucleon sector is reduced by about 12% as compared to the prediction of a non-relativistic description. This reduction is due to the antinucleon degrees of freedom.REVTeX4, no figures, change contentNuclear TheoryThe role of the Dirac sea in the quenching of Gamow-Teller strengthtext
