Questioning Gottfried Kellermann's "The Validity of Urinary Neurotransmitter Measurements".(Letters to the Editor)(Letter to the editor)

From: Townsend Letter: The Examiner of Alternative Medicine | Date: April 1, 2006 | Copyright information

The following is synopsis of correspondence with a colleague, a biochemist like myself, questioning the validity of the urinary neurotransmitter tests mentioned in Gottfried Kellermann's article, "The Validity of Urinary Neurotransmitter Measurements" (TLfDP #270, January 2006). Although the same issue featured an excellent article, scientifically credible, by Cheryl Burdette, J. Alexander Bralley, and Richard Lord on organic acid testing, which discusses the use of that test to me...

A glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist and an antagonist modify macronutrient selection by rats
The Journal of Nutrition ; A Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist and an Antagonist Modify Macronutrient Selection by Rats1,2 ABSTRACT The hypothesis that peripheral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a regulator of both food intake and macronutrient selection in rats was tested by administration of its antagonist,
Cholecystokinin-A receptors are involved in food intake suppression in rats after intake of all fats and carbohydrates tested1,2
The Journal of Nutrition ; Manuscript received 20 December 2002. Initial review completed January 2003. Revision accepted 29 March 2002 . ABSTRACT The hypothesis of these studies was that all fats and carbohydrates suppress food intake, at least in part, via cholecystokinin-A receptors (CCKAR). Fat (coconut oil, beef tallow,
An interaction between hypothalamic glucagon-like peptide-1 and macronutrient composition determines food intake in rats
The Journal of Nutrition ; An Interaction between Hypothalamic Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 and Macronutrient Composition Determines Food Intake in Rats1,2 ABSTRACT Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) release in response to food ingestion has been associated with decreased food intake. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis
Exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, interacts with proteins and their products of digestion to suppress food intake in rats1
The Journal of Nutrition ; Manuscript received 19 December 2002. Initial review completed 17 February 2003. Revision accepted 8 April 2003. ABSTRACT This study investigated the hypotheses that dietary proteins suppress food intake partly through the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling pathway, and that this effect is
Dietary Proteins in the Regulation of Food Intake and Body Weight in Humans1
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT This review presents 4 lines of evidence supporting a role for proteins in the regulation of food intake and maintenance of healthy body weights. It is concluded that the protein content of food, and perhaps its source, is a strong determinant of short-term satiety and of how much food is
