Intracerebroventricular Injection of L-Alanine Induces a Sedative Effect under an Acute Stressful Condition in Neonatal Chicks
Pyruvate can be synthesized from amino acids such as L-alanine, L-serine and L-cysteine. Recently, we reported that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of L-serine and L-cysteine attenuated acute stress in chicks. This fact implies that amino acid substrates for pyruvate play a sedative rol...
