Plasma tryptophan levels and tryptophan/neutral amino acid ratios in obsessive-compulsive patients with and without depression.

Abstract:

:We have studied fasting plasma tryptophan (TRP) levels and tryptophan/large neutral amino acid (TRP/LNAA) ratios in 12 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and 12 patients with OCD and a coexisting current diagnosis of major depressive disorder (OCD-MDD). Assessments were made at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment with fluvoxamine. OCD-MDD patients had significantly lower baseline TRP levels and TRP/LNAA ratios than OCD patients. After 6 weeks of fluvoxamine treatment, OCD-MDD patients had significant increases in plasma TRP and TRP/LNAA ratio, whereas OCD patients had non-significant decreases. Our data suggest that a major depressive syndrome could be a state variable affecting the changes in plasma TRP and TRP/LNAA ratio in OCD patients.
