Serotoninergic system activity and cytokine production have been both implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer anorexia. To verify the existence of relationships between tryptophan, cytokines and anorexia, twenty cancer and six non-neoplastic patients were studied. Plasma amino acid concentration, including tryptophan, and spontaneous and LPS stimulated tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 release from peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined before and after surgery in both groups of patients. A close relationship between plasma free tryptophan concentration and anorexia was observed, whereas no relationship between cytokine production and either anorexia or plasma tryptophan was found in cancer patients.
