Abstract
In conclusion, agmatine produces a biphasic effect on the purinergic vasoconstriction induced by sympathetic nerve stimulation in the rabbit isolated saphenous artery. The monophasic inhibition of agmatine in the artery treated with phenoxybenzamine is due to an α-adrenoceptor-independent mechanism at prejunctional sites, and the potentiation effect of agmatine is mainly dependent on its enhancement of vasoconstriction at postjunctional sites.
