| Abstract | In rats, dietary protein is known to influence brain tryptophan (TRP) concentrations and serotonin (5HT) synthesis. However, few studies have examined this relationship in primates (including humans). We therefore studied the effect in monkeys of changes in chronic protein intake on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of TRP and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA), the principal 5HT metabolite. Juvenile male monkeys (Macacca mulatta) consumed for sequential 4-week periods diets differing in protein content (~23% → ~ 16% → ~10% → ~6% protein [%-energy/day]). Each day, food was presented as a morning meal of fruit, and an afternoon meal consisting of a pelleted, commercial diet and fruit. During week 4 on each diet, blood and CSF were sampled diurnally via indwelling catheters. Plasma and CSF TRP varied diurnally and with dietary protein content. On all diets, CSF TRP declined modestly in the morning, and increased in the afternoon; the magnitude of the increments varied directly with dietary protein content. Diurnal variations were absent for CSF 5HIAA; however, CSF 5HIAA varied directly with chronic dietary protein content. We conclude that dietary protein content can chronically influence CSF TRP concentrations in monkeys. The variation in CSF 5HIAA suggests chronic protein intake may influence serotonin synthesis and turnover, perhaps via changes in TRP concentrations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
