Talk:Tyramine

message: I suspect that tyramine is not "degraded to octopamine" look at the structures; I think that the second paragraph should be cut out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Threelegduck (talk • contribs) 02:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Octopamine

message: In Silence of the Lambs, at one point Hannibal Lecter talks about eating the liver of a census-taker, along with "some fava beans and a nice Chianti". I stumbled across this article and found it interesting that all three of these foods are listed as containing tyramine. Is there a deeper meaning in this? Was the author including a little in-joke for psychiatrists? My post is probably a waste of time, but I just thought I'd share this with y'all in the hope that someone else finds this as interesting as I did.

replies: text: I was wondering the same thing myself.  The author might very well have done so; he includes quite a few obscure references -- the following site catalogs some of them:

message: Given that this article already has a brief "occurrence" section that lists foods containing tyramine, I think we can condense the multi-section format of foods containing tyramine and bring it into this article. --McGeddon (talk) 11:47, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from [[foods containing tyramine]] 

message: Firstly, thanks to Jytdog for cleaning up garbage from this section. However, the section is still a mess and would benefit from being taken care of. I have made an effort to restructure and source some of the material contained, but have left the paragraphs on medical effects to be evaluated by someone better qualified.
Additionally, I reinserted parts of the paragraph on migraine interaction as it is seemingly adequately sourced. Please state your case before removing this section again.
Further, I would like to propose a split of the section into two seperate sections Pharmacology and Physical/Biological/Medical effects, and expand on the Pharmacology section to include more in depth information on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. However, time restrains currently prevents this from being done by this user.
Thank you and good night.

thread_title:  Broken link 

message: An IP-user pointed (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tyramine&oldid=1149220164) at the questionable statement (that pancreas enzymes of the body can reduce tyramine formation) as misleading. He or she changed the statement, and it became: 
The body may be able to reduce tyramine formation by trypsin and chymotrypsin, digestive enzymes in the pancreas, however the evidence for this has only been proven in the lab not in any living creature(No studies yet in rats, humans etc. only in a test tube).
I have removed the whole statement, because the authors of this research modeled the food system, not the body system.
You may say that after all the body can prevent formation of tyramine by its (the body's) trypsin and chymotrypsin... However this function of digestion is not a tyramine-specific strategy. Viewing from this angle, it is a side effect of the main goal to break down polypeptides into amino acids. Time of food residing in the body before it starts to reduce tyramine formation is relatively short (compared to shelf life), and if tyramine is there, it is too late...
