Melatonin and other tryptophan metabolites produced by yeasts: implications in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases
Yeast metabolism produces compounds derived from tryptophan, which are found in fermented beverages, such as wine and beer. Melatonin and serotonin, in particular, may play a significant role due to their bioactivity in humans. Indeed, the former is a neurohormone related to circadiam rhythms, which...

Yeast metabolism produces compounds derived from tryptophan, which are found in fermented beverages, such as wine and beer. Melatonin and serotonin, in particular, may play a significant role due to their bioactivity in humans.

Serotonin, on the other hand, is a neurotransmitter itself, in addition to being a precursor of melatonin synthesis. This paper summarizes data reported on fermented beverages, to evaluate dietary intake.
