IT has been shown that muscular effort is accompanied by the increased urinary excretion of one of the metabolites of tryptophan, namely, indoleacetic acid1. Pelikán and co-workers2 have proved that there is increased excretion of another tryptophan metabolite, xanthurenic acid, after muscular effort.
