The effects of tryptophan (A) or 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (B) concentrations on FeCl3 and ascorbic acid-induced lipid (Inline graphic) and protein (Inline graphic) oxidations in synaptosomes isolated from rat brains. The incubation time was 30 min for lipid peroxidation and 1 h for protein oxidation. Both indoleamines are expressed as the logarithm of its molar concentration. Results are given as means ± SE (n = 6) and are expressed as a percentage of control membrane preparations. * P < 0.05 vs. membranes treated only with FeCl3 and ascorbic acid.
