abstract：:Neuronal death due to excessive activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. The polyamines: putrescine, spermine, and spermidine, bind to specific sites on the NMDA receptor and promote its activation, but their role in NMDA-induced neuronal death is ill defined. In...
