Abstract
Animals fed a niacin-tryptophan deficient ration supplemented with 0.208% DL-phenylalanine and 0.2% DL-methionine for a period of 12 weeks developed a nervous syndrome. Generous quantities of tryptophan or niacin in the ration protected the animals from this syndrome, but neither compound cured the symptoms once they had progressed beyond a given stage.Keywords
