Tryptophan Hydroxylation: Measurement in Pineal Gland, Brainstem, and Carcinoid Tumor
TL;DR: This is the first direct demonstration of tryptophan hydroxylase in this hydroxyindole-rich tissue, and the reaction requires a reduced pteridine and oxygen and is inhibired by Para-Chorophenylalanine.

Tryptophan hydroxylase inhibition: the mechanism by which p-chlorophenylalanine depletes rat brain serotonin.
TL;DR: The findings support the conclusion that tryptophan hydroxylation is the rate-limiting enzymic step in serotonin biosynthesis and cause an irreversible inactivation of the enzyme in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Dietary Sodium and of Acute Saline Infusion on the Interrelationship between Dopamine Excretion and Adrenergic Activity in Man
TL;DR: Findings suggest a possible role for dopamine and norepinephrine in the regulation of renal sodium excretion and suggest that an increase in dietary sodium or infusion of saline results in an apparent decrease in adrenergic activity and a increase in urinary dopamine.
