The LLETAU was not prevented by N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)- or by GABAA receptor-antagonists, but was sensitive to the GlyR-antagonist strychnine and blocked by the competitive taurine uptake inhibitor guanidinoethylsulphonate (GES, 1 mm).

SON oxytocin (OX) neurons respond to single TM stimuli with fast IPSPs, whose kinetics resemble those of GABA (A) or glycine receptors.
IPSPs were blocked by the Cl (-) channel blocker picrotoxin, but not by bicuculline or strychnine, and by histamine H (2), but not by H (1) or H (3) receptor antagonists, suggesting the presence of an ionotropic histamine receptor and the possible nonspecificity of currently used H (2) antagonists.

The description of its involvement in the mechanism of action of the potent neurotoxin strychnine pushed further the concept of inhibitory transmitter.
This review encompasses a few of these aspects as the role of the different glycine receptors (GlyRs) in intracellular chloride balance, glycine transporters, GABA/Glycine co-release, glycine/NMDA receptor interaction, glycine receptors in acute alcohol effects and advocates a more relevant role for glycine as a stimulatory transmitter in forebrain areas.
