A member asked:
Does exercise increase serotonin by stimulating the uptake of tryptophan by brain synaptosomes(sze py.1976)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress does: That paper describes increased uptake of tryptophan caused by glucocorticoids. If you stress yourself while exercising, you might get some increase in the uptake, however, direct connection between tryptophan uptake and exercise was not described.
