Results

Analyses of 865 publications revealed 2209 keywords, 4068 authors, 2094 institutions, and contributors from 302 regions. The USA was at the forefront of publications concerning d-tryptophan, but the European Journal of Pharmacology, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
