摘要: l-Tyrosine (TYR), the precursor of dopamine (DA), has been shown to enhance facets cognitive control in situations with high demands. However some previous outcomes were mixed: studies reported significant improvements, while other did not. Given that TYR increases DA level brain, we investigated, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design, whether C957T genotypes functional synonymous polymorphism human D2 receptor (DRD2) gene (rs6277) contribute individual differences reactivity administration and this factor predicts magnitude TYR-induced performance on inhibiting behavioral responses stop-signal task working memory (WM) updating N-back task. Our findings show T/T homozygotes (i.e., individuals potentially associated lower striatal level) showed larger beneficial effects supplementation than C/C higher level), suggesting genetically determined function may explain inter-individual response supplementation. These reinforce idea genetic predisposition modulates effect its role as enhancer.
