Description
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid which cannot be synthesized by humans,
and therefore must be supplied in diet. Tryptophan plays an important role in
the synthesis of serotonin, as it is the only source for synthesizing serotonin
(see figure 1).
Serotonin is released from the appendices of a widespread transmitter system
with global modulating effects on different areas of life. The activity of this
system depends not
least on the actual
tryptophan level.
When tryptophan in plasma decreases, it is not available for serotonin synthesis
and the following melatonin production. As a result, fluctuations of mood,
aggression, sleep and eating disorder, or depression can occur. The symptoms
of these diseases can be eased by administration of tryptophan. However, such
a treatment requires the knowledge of the tryptophan level, which can be
determined with this test.
