5-hydroxytryptophan and Cancer of Gastrointestinal Tract

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Cancer of Gastrointestinal Tract in 9 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

"The urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, 5-hydroxytryptophan, serotonin, tryptamine, and tyramine and the serum serotonin concentration were determined in 38 consecutive patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors."7.66Serotonin metabolism in patients with carcinoid tumors: incidence of 5-hydroxytryptophan-secreting tumors. ( Feldman, JM, 1978)
"Four of the 23 patients with the carcinoid syndrome (15%) had markedly elevated excretion of 5-hydroxytryptophan."5.26Serotonin metabolism in patients with carcinoid tumors: incidence of 5-hydroxytryptophan-secreting tumors. ( Feldman, JM, 1978)
" Carcinoid tumors with liver metastases, especially those of midgut origin, produce serotonin via the precursors tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and this overproduction contributes to the clinical symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome."5.07Positron emission tomography (PET) in neuroendocrine gastrointestinal tumors.

"In three patients with carcinoid liver and/or lymph node metastases, we studied the process of tumor tracer uptake and decarboxylation by means of positron emission tomography (PET) using 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) 11C-labeled in the beta-position (HTP) and later the same day with 5-HTP 11C-labeled in the carboxyl group (HTC)."1.31Demonstration of [11C] 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan uptake and decarboxylation in carcinoid tumors by specific positioning labeling in positron emission tomography.
