D-Aspartic acid is an amino acid and a precursor in the biosynthesis of NMDA.{54871,54872} It is formed from L-aspartic acid by aspartate racemase and degraded by D-aspartate oxidase (DDO).{54873,54874} It is also produced by degradation of dietary proteins or by intestinal microbiota.{54874} D-Aspartic acid binds to the L-glutamate site of ionotropic NMDA receptors (Ki = 1.6 µM).{54875} It increases the production of cAMP in rat synaptosomes when used at a concentration of 1 mM. D-Aspartic acid enhances electrically stimulated field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in rat hippocampal slices following administration in the drinking water at a concentration of 20 mM.{54876} It increases serum levels of growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and progesterone (Item No. 15876) in rats.{54877}
