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.
