In these experiments participants' serotonin levels are lowered by depriving them of tryptophan.

" Numerous studies over the past decade have illustrated the importance of tryptophan, " says Dinan.

“过去十年的大量研究已经明了色氨酸的重要性， ” 迪。

The brain needs a constant supply of tryptophan metabolites, as they are the building blocks for the mood-regulating hormone serotonin.

A third line of research depends on the fact that serotonin is made from tryptophan, a substance the body cannot synthesise, and so must ingest from food.

第三个研究方向取决于血清素是由色氨酸制成的事实，色氨酸是一种人体无法合成的物质， 因此必须从食物中摄取。

Tryptophan in our diet is broken down – by a group of gut microbes called bifidobacteria – into smaller metabolites that can cross the blood-brain barrier.

我们饮食中的色氨酸被一组称为双歧杆菌的肠道微生物分解成更小的代谢物， 可以穿过血脑屏障。

Essential amino acids, or EAAs, are amino acids that our body needs but cannot produce on its own, and there are 9 of them: Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

基本氨基酸，简称 EAA，是我们身体需要但不能自己生的氨基酸，其中有 9 种：组氨酸，异亮氨酸，亮氨酸，赖氨酸，蛋氨酸，苯丙氨酸，苏氨酸，色氨酸和缬氨酸。

" If you take patients who have recovered from depression and you deplete their brains of tryptophan, their depression will reoccur within a really short period of time, within minutes to hours" .
