Effect on rats and mice of a diet with low tryptophan content (maize flour)

Female Wistar rats when crowded together become aggressive if fed a diet with low tryptophan (Trp) content (maize flour, Mf). When isolated during 30 days and fed Mf, they show a decrease of weight, of total plasma Trp, and of Trp and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in brain stem, but 5-hydroxyindolaceti...
