In general, it appears that a doubling of brain TRP (from about 15 to 30 PM) produces a 2-30% rise in brain gHT and 5HIAA (Fernstrom & Wurtman, 1972; Fernstrom et al. 1974; Arimanana et al. 1984). The dose-response curve flattens off as brain TRP approaches 90 PM (the concentration at which TRP ymonooxygenase should be saturated). The results of Young & Gauthier (1981) suggest that a similar saturation may also occur in man since a 3 g load of TRP approximately doubles CSF 5HIAA while a 6 g load produces no further increase.
