NEUTRAL AMINO ACIDS IN THE BRAIN: CHANGES IN RESPONSE TO FOOD INGESTION1
Abstract
Abstract— The brain levels of each of the aromatic and branched‐chain amino acids change 2 h after fasting rats begin to consume either a carbohydrate‐fat diet or a similar diet containing 18% or 40% protein. Carbohydrate‐fat ingestion elevates the concentrations of each of the aromatic amino acids in brain, while substantially depressing those of the branched‐chain amino acids. The inclusion of protein in this diet suppresses the increases in brain aromatic amino acids and attenuates the decreases in the branched‐chain amino acids. The changes in the brain level of each neutral amino acid following the ingestion of any of these diets correlate extremely well with the effects of the diet on the serum neutral amino acid pattern, specifically on the serum concentration ratio of each neutral amino acid to the sum of the other neutral amino acids. The diet‐induced changes in the brain level of each of the amino acids also correlate surprisingly well with the calculated rate of brain influx for each amino acid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
