Abstract
Tryptophan (Trp) is an amino acid used as precursor for several molecules in the body, including serotonin. Serotonin is involved in a broad range of physiological and behavioral functions, including stress response. Because serotonin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, supply of Trp to the brain could be used to elevate serotonin synthesis and release. Evidence in monogastric species indicates that Trp supplementation may increase circulating...
