“ Agmatine and ketamine synergist effect is accompanied by mTOR/S6 kinase activation.”
“ Agmatine potentiates the effects of subthreshold concentrations of ketamine.”
“Notably, the incubation with a subthreshold concentration of ketamine (0.01 &mgr;M) in combination with a subthreshold concentration of agmatine (0.001 &mgr;M) prevented the neuronal damage elicited by corticosterone (50 &mgr;M).”
“Taken together, our results support the notion that the combination of subthreshold concentrations of ketamine and agmatine has cytoprotective effects against corticosterone‐induced cell death.”
“ Agmatine at the doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg blocked conditioned avoidance responding, attenuated apomorphine induced climbing, diminished amphetamine and ketamine hyperlocomotor activity and augmented plasma prolactin levels.”
