Abstract excerpt
Acute tryptophan depletion (ATD) putatively results in a transient reduction in central serotonin transmission, and induces depressed mood in some un-medicated subjects with remitted major depressive disorder (MDD). The 5-HT transporter promoter region length polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) has been shown to influence behavioral and metabolic responses to ATD, as well as the risk for developing MDD within the context of...
