The question of how specific to serotonin the tests are, has, however, received little attention. In particular, two questions arise regarding the potential effects of the tests on </span>catecholamine synthesis, which may confound interpretation of behavioral data, namely whether: (1) the absence of Trp or its addition alters the [Phe</span> <!-->+<!--> <!-->Tyr]/[LNAA<!--> <!-->+<!--> <span><span>Trp] ratio, thereby influencing the entry of tyrosine and </span>phenylalanine into the brain; (2) the relatively larger amounts of the 3 large neutral amino acids (LNAA), namely Val, Leu and Ile, in the amino acid formulation, compared with those of Phe and Tyr, could actually decrease the above ratio. Furthermore, the [Phe</span> <!-->+<!--> <!-->Tyr]/[LNAA<!--> <!-->+<!--> <!-->Trp] and/or the [Trp]/[CAA] ratio may also be altered in control balanced and/or in Trp-loaded amino acid formulations, given the disproportionate contents of these 6 competitors in the different formulations. We addressed these questions in 114 normal US subjects divided into 5 groups of 20–25 each receiving Trp-depleted, -loaded or -balanced amino acid formulations at two dose levels: 50 g and the traditional 100 g.

In all cases, the above unwanted decreases were due to the relatively larger contents in the various formulations of the above 3 LNAA, compared with Phe and Tyr.

These spots contained seven proteins such as M2 </span>pyruvate kinase<span><span>, mitochondrial aconitase<span> 2, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2, </span></span>pyruvate carboxylase<span>, sarcosine dehydrogenase<span>, vinculin<span> and heat-shock protein 90α. Several proteins contained functional tryptophan<span> residues that interact with other molecules. We speculate that the nitration of tryptophan residues in the neuron-like cell during neuroinflammation<span> may affect cellular energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and stress response and may modulate the specific interaction of proteins with other molecules.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":84918,"journal":{"name":"International congress series","volume":"1304 ","pages":"Pages 33-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ics.2007.07.036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"101941966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
