Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with lower brain glucose metabolism. In this issue, Le Douce et al. (2020) show that this leads to insufficient astrocyte-dependent production of D-serine, co-agonist of synaptic NMDA receptors. Oral L-serine therapy rescues NMDA receptor hypofunction, plasticity, and cognition in an AD model, suggesting a new therapeutic strategy.
阿尔茨海默病（AD）与大脑葡萄糖代谢降低有关。在本期中，Le Douce 等人（2020 年）表明，这导致星形胶质细胞依赖性 D-丝氨酸产生不足，而 D-丝氨酸是突触 NMDA 受体的共激动剂。口服 L-丝氨酸治疗可挽救 AD 模型中的 NMDA 受体功能低下、可塑性和认知功能，提示了一种新的治疗策略。
