Abstract
A cerebration improver having a prominent action for increasing brain glucose level has an effect of improving the cerebration of a subject administered with the improver. The cerebration improver contains as the effective ingredient phosphatidyl-L-serine, or lysophosphatidyl-L-serine produced by eliminating the fatty acid chain at the position .alpha. or .beta. of phosphatidyl-L-serine, or the salts thereof. The phosphatidyl-L-serine has a structural fatty acid chain derived from at least one raw material lecithin selected from the group consisting of soy bean lecithin, rapeseed lecithin or egg yolk lecithin. Using the raw material lecithin as the substrate, phosphatidyl-L-serine can be produced by utilizing transphosphatidylation.
