Specifically, N-methyl-D-aspartate NMDA receptor antagonist have been demonstrated in animal and in vitro models to accelerate mechanisms of apoptosis by allowing the cell to prematurely engage in the normal cell cycle, resulting in apoptosis and cell death.
Concretamente, en modelos animales e in vitro, se ha demostrado que los antagonistas del receptor del N-metil-D-aspartato NMDA aceleran los mecanismos de apoptosis al permitir que la célula inicie prematuramente su ciclo normal hasta llegar a la muerte celular.
