In past conflicts battle stress casualties have caused a serious exit of troops from the frontlines. Recent research has linked stress-caused impairments of performance with depletion of brain stores of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE), which functions in neural tracts responding to stress. The amino acid tyrosine (TYR) is the dietary precursor for NE, and supplementation with TYR has been demonstrated in the laboratory to alleviate declines in both neural NE and performance during stress. Thus, TYR supplementation might help to prevent and treat stress casualties in combat. Further research is called for to verify this hypothesis.
在过去的冲突中，战斗应激伤亡导致大量部队从前线撤离。最近的研究表明，应激导致的行为能力损伤与神经递质去甲肾上腺素（NE）的脑储备消耗有关，NE在应对应激的神经通路中发挥作用。氨基酸酪氨酸（TYR）是NE的膳食前体，实验室研究已证明补充TYR可缓解应激期间神经NE水平下降和行为能力下降的情况。因此，补充TYR可能有助于预防和治疗战斗中的应激伤亡。需要进一步研究来验证这一假设。
