Popis: Tryptophan oxygenase activity in alcohol-preferring C57Bl mice and control CBA and DBA/2 mice was studied under nonstressful conditions and after glucocorticoid-induced stress. Elevated basal tryptophan oxygenase activity in C57Bl mice is probably responsible for reduced brain content of tryptophan and serotonin associated with alcohol preference.
