Serum d-serine levels are altered in early phases of Alzheimer’s disease: towards a precocious biomarker

Abstract d-Serine acts as a co-agonist of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) which appear overactivated in AD, while d-aspartate is a modulatory molecule acting on NMDAR as a second agonist. The aim of this work is to clarify whether the levels of these d-amino acids in serum are deregulated in...
