Aging is an important risk factor for many debilitating diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration. In model organisms, interfering with metabolic signaling pathways, including the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 (IIS) and TOR pathways, can protect against age-related pathologies and increase

The alpha-methyl-L-trypotophan (alpha-MTrp) method for the study of the brain serotonergic system is based on the fact that labelled alpha-MTrp is taken up by and, in part, retained in the brain, and this retention (trapping) is proportional to brain serotonin

Tryptophan is the precursor for several neurotransmitters and metabolic regulators, which, although quantitatively of little importance in determining the dietary requirement, have major importance for interpreting symptoms of dietary tryptophan deficiency and excess. The quantitative dietary tryptophan requirement appears to
