5-hydroxytryptophan and Sensitivity and Specificity

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Sensitivity and Specificity in 11 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.

Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

( Barrett, MP; Biéler, S; Bisser, S; Cattanach, AM; Courtioux, B; Daly, R; Ndung'u, JM; Vincent, IM, 2016)
"Treatment for human African trypanosomiasis is dependent on the species of trypanosome causing the disease and the stage of the disease (stage 1 defined by parasites being present in blood and lymphatics whilst for stage 2, parasites are found beyond the blood-brain barrier in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF))."1.43Metabolomics Identifies Multiple Candidate Biomarkers to Diagnose and Stage Human African Trypanosomiasis. ( Barrett, MP; Biéler, S; Bisser, S; Cattanach, AM; Courtioux, B; Daly, R; Ndung'u, JM; Vincent, IM, 2016)
"In all carcinoid patients (18)F-DOPA PET and (11)C-5-HTP PET detected more lesions than SRS (P < ."1.35Improved staging of patients with carcinoid and islet cell tumors with 18F-dihydroxy-phenyl-alanine and 11C-5-hydroxy-tryptophan positron emission tomography. ( Brouwers, AH; de Vries, EG; Elsinga, PH; Jager, PL; Kema, IP; Koopmans, KP; Neels, OC; Sluiter, WJ; Vanghillewe, K, 2008)
"Carcinoid (n = 24) or pancreatic islet cell tumor (n = 23) patients with at least one lesion on conventional imaging including somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) and computed tomography (CT) scan underwent (11)C-5-hydroxytryptophan ((11)C-5-HTP) PET and 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dihydroxy-phenylalanine ((18)F-DOPA) PET."1.35Improved staging of patients with carcinoid and islet cell tumors with 18F-dihydroxy-phenyl-alanine and 11C-5-hydroxy-tryptophan positron emission tomography. ( Brouwers, AH; de Vries, EG; Elsinga, PH; Jager, PL; Kema, IP; Koopmans, KP; Neels, OC; Sluiter, WJ; Vanghillewe, K, 2008)
"No melatonin was observed in duodenum under conditions of 2."1.29Duodenum is not a consistent source of melatonin in rats. ( Brammer, GL, 1994)
