Abstract
In young children, associations between linear growth faltering, environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), and the plasma kynurenine (Kyn)/tryptophan (Trp) ratio (KTR) have led to the proposal that higher Trp catabolism in response to intestinal/systemic inflammation limits Trp availability for protein synthesis, resulting in impaired growth.
