N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA), is an amino acid derivative acting as a specific agonist at the NMDA receptor and therefore mimics the action of the neurotransmitter glutamate on that receptor. In contrast to glutamate, NMDA binds to and regulates the NMDA receptor only, with no effect on other glutamate receptors

Function&Application of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid
N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid is a little known receptor found in neurons and hormone regulating organs of the body. It has been deemed responsible for the incredible increase of hormonal output experienced during puberty, which results in rapid muscular and sexual development. This hormonal state is most desirable for building muscle mass and even useful in enhancing every aspect of sexual performance. This newly found receptor, when powerfully activated by an amino acid-based ingredient called NMDA, elicits profound elevations of circulating anabolic hormones.
1. NMDA can participate in hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system neuroendocrine regulation. NMDA with suitable concentration can obviously improve secretion of hypothalamus nerve cell SS and expression of mRNA, improve Ca2+ level in cell and lower cAMP concentration.
2. NMDA plays an important role in neuroendocrine regulation.NMDA with suitable concentration can affect the organism endocrine system, especially promote the hormone significantly(GH)secretion of the animal organism to increase blood GHlevel.
3. NMDA can affect cell proliferation activity by inhibiting DNA synthesis of PC12 cells. So it can be used for anticancer drugs.
4. NMDA with suitable concentration can significantly promote releasing growth hormone in animal adenohypophysis, yellow pituitary erythropoietin. It can be used as a new feed additive with efficient growth promotion.
5. NMDA can be used as a new functional food additive.
