No detectable effects of acute tryptophan depletion on short-term immune system cytokine levels in healthy adults
Abstract
Objectives: Recent research suggested an influence of diminished central nervous serotonin (5-HT) synthesis on the leptin axis via immunological mechanisms in healthy adult females. However, studies assessing immunological parameters in combination with dietary challenge techniques that impact brain 5-HT synthesis in humans are lacking. Methods: In the present trial, a pilot analysis was conducted on data obtained in healthy adult humans …
