Suppose that a person wants to increase their brain levels of serotonin, so they take a pill containing the amino acid tryptophan, which is the precursor for serotonin production
Explain why this may or may not actually change the person's brain levels of serotonin.
What will be an ideal response?
Because of competition among all the amino acids contained in proteins for the active transport systems that allow penetration of the amino acids into the brain, it is unlikely that adding tryptophan will have much influence of serotonin levels in the brain.
