Abstract

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid whose metabolism involves several pathways. Defects, either inherited or functional, in its transport mechanism or catabolism are related to a large variety of clinical abnormalities. This paper presents a relatively simple and rapid method to determine quantitatively tryptophan and several of its metabolites in biological fluids using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and multiple detection.
