  2. 5-Hydroxytryptophan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxytryptophan

    5-HTP is produced from the amino acid tryptophan through the action of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase is one of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Production of 5-HTP is the rate-limiting step in 5-HT (serotonin) synthesis. 5-HTP is normally rapidly converted to 5-HT by amino acid decarboxylase ...

  3. Tryptophan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptophan

    Tryptophan (symbol Trp or W) [3] is an α- amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Tryptophan contains an α -amino group, an α- carboxylic acid group, and a side chain indole, making it a polar molecule with a non-polar aromatic beta carbon substituent.

    Rheumatology. Eosinophilia–myalgia syndrome is a rare, sometimes fatal neurological condition linked to the ingestion of the dietary supplement L-tryptophan. [1][2] The risk of developing EMS increases with larger doses of tryptophan and increasing age. [3] Some research suggests that certain genetic polymorphisms may be related to the ...

  5. L-DOPA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-DOPA

    The side effects of l -DOPA may include: Hypertension, especially if the dosage is too high. Arrhythmias, although these are uncommon. Nausea, which is often reduced by taking the drug with food, although protein reduces drug absorption. l -DOPA is an amino acid, so protein competitively inhibits l -DOPA absorption.

  6. Serotonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin

    Serotonin and tryptophan have been found in chocolate with varying cocoa contents. The highest serotonin content (2.93 μg/g) was found in chocolate with 85% cocoa, and the highest tryptophan content (13.27–13.34 μg/g) was found in 70–85% cocoa. The intermediate in the synthesis from tryptophan to serotonin, 5-hydroxytryptophan, was not found.

  7. 5-HT receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT_receptor

    Its crystallographic structure in ribbon representation. 5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. [1][2][3] They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission.
