[The effect of diet with an increased amount of tyrosine on reparative processes in the duodenum]

It has been shown that the development of destructive lesions of the duodenal wall induced by stress action on the body of the experimental animal is attended by a decrease of the content of creatine phosphate and noradrenaline in homogenate of the duodenal tissue. The use of tyrosine, a precursor of catecholamine biosynthesis, both as a pharmacologic agent and as a component of rich in this amino-acid product-dried milk, resulted in normalization of the biochemical parameters studied and in significant diminution of destructive lesions of the duodenal wall.
