 Agmatine and Near-Death Experiences -- Neurotransmitter.net
Agmatine, an endogenous neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, is an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase and an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors.
Agmatine reverses the NMDA-induced intracellular Ca(2+) overloading and the decrease of monoamines (including norepinephrine, epinephrine or dopamine) contents in PC12 cells, indicating that agmatine's antidepressant-like action may be related to its modulation of NMDA receptor activity and/or reversal of the decrease of monoamine contents and Ca(2+) overloading induced by NMDA."
