Tyrosine
Explanation: Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, which the human body can produce. Tyrosine is important for muscle recovery and also for making key substances in the body, including: neurotransmitters like dopamine (for mood and motivation), norepinephrine, and epinephrine (for stress response), thyroid hormones that regulate the metabolism, and melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes. Tyrosine metabolism occurs in the liver.
Test purpose: Testing its levels helps assess liver health, endocrine health and identify causes of neurological issues.
- Investigate thyroid issues: Tyrosine is important for thyroid hormone production, so imbalances may affect thyroid function.
- Monitor nutritional status: Low tyrosine levels may indicate poor protein intake or malnutrition.
