The Brain

1. Chronic ethanol administration enhances rat brain 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis by increasing the availability of circulating tryptophan to the brain. This increased availability is not insulin-mediated or lipolysis-dependent. 2. Under these conditions, tryptophan accumulates in the liver and apo-(tryptophan pyrrolase) activity is completely abolished, but could be restored by administration of regenerators of liver NAD+ and/or NADP+. 3. All four regenerators used (fructose, Methylene Blue, phenazine methosulphate and sodium pyruvate) prevented the ethanol-induced increase in liver tryptophan concentration and the increased availability of tryptophan to the brain. 4. It is suggested that the enhancement of brain tryptophan metabolism by chronic ethanol administration is caused by the decreased hepatic tryptophan pyrrolase activity. The results are briefly discussed in relation to previous work with ethanol. 5. Fructose enhances the conversion of tryptophan into 5-hydroxyindol-3-ylacetic acid in brains of ethanol-treated rats, whereas Methylene Blue inhibits this conversion in both control and ethanol-treated animals.
