kynurenic acid and Muscle Contraction

kynurenic acid has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 7 studies

Kynurenic Acid: A broad-spectrum excitatory amino acid antagonist used as a research tool.
kynurenic acid : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is quinoline-2-carboxylic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at C-4.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

" In the present investigation, kynurenate (KYN), a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (APV), a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, were tested in the pattern, latency and duration of the spinal seizures."7.68Kynurenate and 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate alter the spinal seizures evoked by sudden cooling of toad isolated cords.
