Utility of fasting essential amino acid plasma levels in formulation of nutritionally adequate diets IV: Lowering of human plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels by lysine and tryptophan supplementation
Abstract
The administration of capsules containing L-lysine monohydrochloride (0.205 g) and L-tryptophan (0.069 g) three times daily after meals resulted in a significant drop in plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The proportion of amino acids in the blend was derived from the average fasting plasma essential amino acid profile.
