Brown 16 4. Significant reutilization ofTrp occurs. Estimates of total protein synthesis per day suggest that 5 to 10 times more Trp is incorporated into protein than is provided by the daily requirement for Trp. Therefore a large percentage of Trp released from breakdown of cells and proteins is actually reutilized. The discovery of the kynurenine-niacin pathway and the description of liver Trp dioxygenase and its induction by glucocorticoids and stabilization by elevated Trp levels were helpful in trying to interpret early findings of elevated metabolite levels in a variety of apparently unrelated clinical conditions.
