Abstract
- The administration of insulin or the ingestion of glucose increases the concentration of tryptophan and tyrosine in the brain. This increase is associated with a parallel decrease in the concentration of free tryptophan and tyrosine in serum. The results suggest that insulin enhances the transport of tyrosine and tryptophan from blood to brain.
