We examined the effect of orally administering L-Ser-L-Tyr (SY) dipeptide on the brain of a serine deficiency disease model mouse to attain the efficient delivery of L-Tyr and L-Ser into the mouse brain. Oral SY administration increased the L-Tyr level more efficiently than L-Tyr administration with the same intake dose, but did not significantly affect the L-Ser level when compared with L-Ser administration.
