alpha-Methyl-L-tryptophan (alpha-MTrp) is an artificial amino acid and an analog of tryptophan (Trp), the precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). In this article we have summarized available data, which suggest that the measurement of the unidirectional uptake of alpha-MTrp and

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

A recent study--comparing those with depression, somatization, comorbid depression+somatization, and controls--showed specific changes in the tryptophan catabolite (TRYCAT) pathway in somatization, specifically lowered tryptophan and kynurenic acid, and increased kynurenine/kynurenic acid (KY/KA) and kynurenine/tryptophan ratios. These findings suggest that somatization

5-HT1A receptors are widely expressed in the brain and play a critical role in feedback inhibition of serotonin (5-HT) neurons through multiple mechanisms. Yet, it remains poorly understood how these feedback mechanisms, particularly those involving long-range projections, adapt in mood

Major depressive disorder is highly prevalent among HIV-infected persons, and depression symptom severity improves during the course of HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART). The potential biologic pathways explaining these phenomena remain unclear. We investigated the extent to which ART-mediated suppression of
