The administration of red cell ghost encapsulated indolyl-3-alkane alpha-hydroxylase (an enzyme which destroys tryptophan by oxidation of the side chains) in CD-1 female mice causes effective tryptophan depletion in plasma and brain and induces hypothermia by probably decreasing the serotonin concentration in brain by decreasing the concentration of its precursor, L-tryptophan.
在CD-1雌性小鼠中给予红细胞血影包裹的吲哚-3-链烷α-羟化酶(一种通过侧链氧化破坏色氨酸的酶),会导致血浆和大脑中的色氨酸有效耗竭,并可能通过降低其前体L-色氨酸的浓度来降低大脑中的血清素浓度,从而诱发体温过低。
