The behavioral effects induced by methamphetamine (5.0 mg/kg) were compared in the mutant mice lacking d-amino acid oxidase activity and normal mice. The mutant mice exhibited marked decline in the methamphetamine-induced stereotypy compared to the normal mice, whereas the mutant mice displayed a drastic augmentation in the locomotor activity evoked by methamphetamine compared to the normal mice. Because the d-serine levels in the brain of the mutant mice are significantly higher than those in the normal mice, the enhanced d-serine in the brain of the mutant mice could antagonize the methamphetamine-induced stereotypy via the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors.
比较了缺乏d-氨基酸氧化酶活性的突变小鼠和正常小鼠中由甲基苯丙胺(5.0毫克/千克)诱导的行为效应。与正常小鼠相比,突变小鼠中甲基苯丙胺诱导的刻板行为明显减少,而与正常小鼠相比,突变小鼠中甲基苯丙胺诱发的运动活性急剧增强。由于突变小鼠大脑中的d-丝氨酸水平显著高于正常小鼠,突变小鼠大脑中增强的d-丝氨酸可能通过N-甲基-d-天冬氨酸受体拮抗甲基苯丙胺诱导的刻板行为。
