    Agmatine

    This stuff rocks. Coming off cycle I really missed the pumps and all day fullness. This is the closest thing I've ever used to mimicing that. It doesn't last quite all day but the pumps are great and feel close to what I do on cycle. Pretty cheap considering servings as well.

    I think its a byproduct of arginine and some kind of amino acid. Take 1gr a day and 30 servings is only like 13 bucks. Primaforce and sns make it

    Agmatine is a relatively new compound in the supplement market that is gaining popularity. So why is Agmatine useful and why do some refer to it as a "Super Arginine"?

    Amatine is a metabolic byproduct of Arginine produced through a process called decarboxylation. Agmatine is basically Arginine with the carboxylic acid end removed. Agmatine produces the byproducts Guanidino-butyladehyde and the polyamines putruscene, spermine, and spermidine which are involved in cell growth. Agmatine is found in tissues throughout the body and is synthesized and stored astrocytes, glial cells in the brain and spinal cord, which provide structural and metabolic support to the nervous system among other actions. Agmatine acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator with a vast array of actions in the body.

    What does Agmatine do?

    Promotes the release of insulin and uptake of calcium in pancreatic cells supporting healthy insulin sensitivity.*
    Supports the release of catecholeamines assisting in stress management.*
    Inhibits Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS), specifically iNOS and nNOS, leading to increased potential muscle pumps.*

    also there is some stuff comming out...
    from: Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior
    The University of Mississippi Medical Center

    Dr. Soundar Regunathan serves as a Basic Science Mentor for the CPN. Dr. Regunathan completed his graduate training in Neurochemistry of amino acid transmitter systems in 1985 at the University of Madras. After completing two year post-doctoral program at McGill University in Montreal, he spent several years in the Division of Neurobiology at Cornell University Medical College in New York, working on novel receptors and neurotransmitter systems. He is a tenure-track Professor of the Division of Neurobiology and Behavior Research (since 2002). His research has been funded by R01 grant from NINDS.

    Dr. Regunathan's laboratory's research interests have been the molecular and functional characterization of neurotransmitters and their receptors with particular focus in neuropsychiatric disorders. Recently, during attempts to identify endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors, agmatine (decarboxylated arginine) was discovered in brain and other tissues. Since then, several studies have shown that agmatine exhibits various biological effects in mammalian brain and other tissues. Dr. Regunathan's laboratory currently focuses on the neurobiological role of this novel amine and its alterations during diseases. We have shown the expression of arginine decarboxylase (ADC), the biosynthetic enzyme, and agmatinase, the degradative enzyme in brain and we are in the process of molecular cloning of ADC. We have also shown that agmatine has potent anti-inflammatory properties and plays a protective role in drugs of abuse.

    The current research programs in Dr. Regunathan's laboratory can be divided into following four distinct but inter related projects.

    1. The localization and regulation of agmatine biosynthesis in brain: In this project, the objectives are to clone the biosynthetic enzyme, arginine decarboxylase (ADC), to investigate the regulation of ADC in glia as the source of neuronal agmatine and to determine the distribution of agmatine and ADC in brain. The aims of this project are to establish that mammalian ADC is a novel enzyme by molecular cloning, to express ADC in mammalian cells by transient and stable transfection and to determine the tissue/cell specific expression pattern by RNA analysis. Further studies are planned to establish that agmatine is primarily synthesized by ADC in glia and stored in neurons by measuring the activity of ADC in cultured neurons and glial cells, immunocytochemical localization of agmatine and ADC, measuring the activity of ADC in adult rat brain glial cells and synaptosomes, and immunohistochemical localization of ADC and agmatine in rat brain.

    2. Anti-inflammatory effects of agmatine: Dr. Regunathan's earlier studies indicated that agmatine is a potent anti-proliferative agent in vascular smooth muscle cells and in brain astrocytes. More recently Dr. Regunathan has observed that agmatine is also effective in blocking the production of pro-inflammatory molecules such as nitric oxide synthase-2 (NOS-2) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in glia and macrophages. Although these are distinct actions, one common feature is the signal transduction pathways mediating these responses. Conceivably these agents could interfere with a common signal that mediate proliferation (ERK pathway) or inflammation (38P MAPK pathway). Dr. Regunathan's lab is currently working to identify the signal transduction molecules that are involved in the anti-proliferative/anti-inflammatory actions of agmatine.

    3. Neuroprotective effects of agmatine: Agmatine protects neurons against injury in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of this neuroprotection is not known. Our hypothesis is that agmatine acts at multiple sites to protect neurons/cells against ischemic/excitotoxic injury. One mechanism could be the blockade of ligand gated cation channels including N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) channels. Agmatine could also prevent delayed neuronal degeneration by inhibiting inflammatory responses and as an anti-apoptotic agent. Studies are also in progress that will reveal the mechanisms of actions of agmatine in neuroprotection.

    4. Agmatine and opioid system: Since our discovery of agmatine in brain, several studies have shown that agmatine interacts with opioid system to reduce morphine tolerance and withdrawal syndrome and potentiates morphine analgesia. Dr. Regunathan's lab is currently investigating the molecular mechanism of these actions of agmatine as well as the effect of chronic morphine exposure on agmatine biosynthesis in specific brain regions.

    I love following studies and am not too keen on taking stuff that has not been researched and validated, on the market for some time...not that I expect miricals but I do want what I pay for to work/not eff me up lol
    for me ~ i would pass on this for now, yall may wanna check it out more as well

    I love following studies and am not too keen on taking stuff that has not been researched and validated, on the market for some time...not that I expect miricals but I do want what I pay for to work/not eff me up lol
    for me ~ i would pass on this for now, yall may wanna check it out more as well I could only find wishey washey info with no back bone...
    falco~ done... no real answears for you tho, just info on the properties that show potentail or are being evaluated

    patrick ~ just curious, have you changed anything else recently/ food/ supps/ vites/ drinks/ training/ hormones/ medications ? thanks for sharing, thers allwayss a 1st guy to try something and post about it before something becomes a BB staple ... or trashed lol

    Seems to me that since Agmatine is a metabolic byproduct of Arginine then it would become present in the body when supplementing w/ Arginine. So why take just Agmatine and not Arginine? Am I missing something?

    Thanks sexy!!

    Yeah I agree with M302. I was thinking the same exact thing when I first posted the info. Why not just take the Arginine?

    Sexy, can you also bold the results. LOL Reading things like that give me a headache and I can't get through where it says the results of the study were. Everything is clustered together. It's hard to read haha
