Tryptophan

NutrEval Plasma - Urine and Blood, Genova Diagnostics

Optimal range:   2.65 - 6.67 Units

Tryptophan is involved in serotonin production via vitamin B6-dependent pathways resulting in the intermediate 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). 5-HTP is often used as a supplement for serotonin formation instead of tryptophan, which can be quickly metabolized in other pathways.

Serotonin is further metabolized to melatonin via methylation.

Because of these downstream conversions, therapeutic administration of 5-HTP has been shown to be effective for depression, fibromyalgia, binge eating associated with obesity, chronic headaches, and insomnia.

TSH Receptor Antibody (TBII)

Metabolic Health

Optimal range:   0 - 1 U/L

TSH receptor antibodies are antibodies that are often present in the serum of patients with Graves’ disease that are directed against the TSH receptor, often causing stimulation of this receptor with resulting hyperthyroidism.

What is Graves’ disease?

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that can cause hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way your body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats.

TSI - Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulin, Serum

Quest Diagnostics, Quest Diagnostics

Optimal range:   0 - 140 %

TSI stands for thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin. TSIs are antibodies that tell the thyroid gland to become more active and release excess amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood. A TSI test measures the amount of thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin in your blood.

TTG IGA

Serum

Celiac Comprehensive Panel

Optimal range:   0 - 14.9 U/mL

The TTG IGA marker is a crucial element in the diagnostic process for celiac disease, offering a high degree of accuracy in identifying this autoimmune disorder. Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) is an enzyme targeted by the immune system in celiac disease, leading to the production of Immunoglobulin A (IGA) antibodies against it. This specific immune response forms the basis of the TTG IGA test, widely regarded as the first-line screening tool in diagnosing celiac disease. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to detect these antibodies, which are typically elevated in individuals with celiac disease, especially in those who have not yet started a gluten-free diet.
