This experiment investigates the effects of low grade inflammation and dietary Trp on growth and Trp metabolism. The results indicate that a moderate inflammatory response was obtained by degrading the sanitary quality of environment. Additionally, poor sanitary conditions modified Trp metabolilsm, this means that the amount of Trp available for growth and other metabolic functions might be reduced.
