Tryptophan in the diet ameliorates motor deficits in a rotenone‐induced rat Parkinson's disease model via activating the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor pathway

Background and purpose Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder with motor and nonmotor symptoms, does not have effective treatments. Dietary tryptophan (Trp) supplementation has potential benefits for the treatment of multiple disorders. However, whether additional Trp in the diet could be beneficial for PD remains to beinvestigated. In the present study, the neuroprotective role of dietary Trp on a rotenone‐induced rat...
