pubmed:abstractText
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) contributes to the regulation of food intake and appetite behavior, and its rate of synthesis depends upon brain tryptophan (TRP) availability in relation to the large neutral amino acids (LNAAs). Thus, the ratio of TRP to the sum of LNAA (TRP/LNAA) will be representative of the 5-HT brain levels. Differences between men and women in the obesity-linked alterations in whole blood amino acid levels and compartmentation have been described. The aim of this work was to study the effect of obesity on brain TRP availability in men and women and to determine whether there are sex-linked differences.
