Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid that can only be obtained through diet
Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid, which can be naturally provided by dietary proteins such as poultry, milk, tuna, fish, cheese, bread, oats, prunes, chocolate and peanuts
It can be metabolized into different metabolites in gut microbiota and tissue cells
Tryptophan triggers antimicrobial peptide secretion via the mTOR pathway, which…
