Levels of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in brain regions (hypopthalamus and medulla) of rainbow trout were analysed by HPLC-EC 0, 10, 30, and 40 min after intraperitoneal administration of different doses of L-tryptophan (Trp) (0, 12.5, and 25 mg β’ kg -1 body weight) in fish treated with 3-hydroxybenz
## Abstract Administration of lβtryptophan (TRP), the amino acid precursor of 5βhydroxytryptamine (5βHT), to animals increases brain 5βHT synthesis and in some circumstances, the release of 5βHT in terminal fields. TRP also appears to increase brain 5βHT neurotransmission in humans because neuroend
