serine and Anxiety

serine has been researched along with Anxiety in 15 studies

Serine: A non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids.
serine : An alpha-amino acid that is alanine substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group.

Anxiety: Feelings or emotions of dread, apprehension, and impending disaster but not disabling as with ANXIETY DISORDERS.

" After establishing FDL, l-serine treatment: 1) improved spatial learning, memory and cognitive ability in mice, and relieved anxiety for 4 weeks post-FDL induction; 2) reduced abnormally dephosphorylated neurofilament proteins, increased myelin basic protein, and preserved anatomic myelinated axons; 3) inhibited microglia activation and reduced the release of inflammatory factors; 4) promoted recruitment and proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, and the efficiency of subsequent remyelination on day twenty-eight post-FDL induction."7.91Neuroprotective effect of l-serine against white matter demyelination by harnessing and modulating inflammation in mice. ( Ding, L; Gan, D; Gao, C; Jiang, Z; Luo, Q; Sun, Y; Wang, G; Xu, L; Zhang, N, 2019)
"Several compounds that promote activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) glycine site have been proposed as treatments for schizophrenia, but the impact of these putative antipsychotics on anxiety remains unclear."7.75Mutant mice with reduced NMDA-NR1 glycine affinity or lack of D-amino acid oxidase function exhibit altered anxiety-like behaviors.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Cognitive Function- CPT-IP D-prime Score - From Baseline to 2 Hours

"The d-prime score is a score given to each participant on a scale of 0.0 - 1.0 in which discrimination sensitivity is measured. A score of 0 equates to no sensitivity whereas a score of 1.0 equates to perfect sensitivity." (NCT02051426)
Timeframe: Baseline, 2 hours post intervention

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
D-serine.5
Placebo0

Change in Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test RAVLT (Trial 7) - From Baseline to 2 Hours

RAVLT measures short term verbal memory, verbal learning, susceptibility to (proactive and retroactive) interference, retention of information after a certain period of time during which other activities are performed and recognition memory. The test consists of a list of 15 common nouns, which are read to the subject in five consecutive trials (trials 1 through 5); each reading is followed by a free-recall task. In trial 6, an interface list of 15 new common nouns is presented, followed by free recall of these new nouns. In trial 7, without additional reading, subjects are again asked to recall the first list. Twenty minutes later, without an additional reading, subjects are asked to recall once more the first list (trial 8). The RAVLT score range from 0-90 correctly recalled words. For trial 7 the score ranges from 0 to 15 correctly recalled words. (NCT02051426)
Timeframe: Baseline, 2 hours post intervention

Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of Anxiety - From Baseline to 2 Hours

The subject was asked to point on the VAS scale according to his anxiety level. VAS anxiety scale 0 to 10 ( 0 [no anxiety] to 10 [maximum anxiety] ). (NCT02051426)
Timeframe: Baseline, 2 hours post intervention
