Increasing effects of S-methyl-L-cysteine on the extracellular D-serine concentrations in the rat medial frontal cortex.
2013
In an in vivo dialysis experiment, the intra-medial frontal cortex infusion of a system A and Asc-1 transporter inhibitor, S-methyl-l-cysteine, caused a concentration-dependent increase in the dialysate contents of an endogenous coagonist for the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptor, d-serine, in the cortical portion. These results suggest that these neutral amino acid transporters could control the extracellular d-serine signaling in the brain and be a target for the development of a novel threapy for neuropsychiatric disorders with an NMDA receptor dysfunction.
