I found what follows on an italian article.
Se la tirosina viene assunta con carboidrati complessi e quindi a medio-basso indice glicemico, i livelli dell'aminoacido possono incrementare in modo significativo, in quanto si abbassano i livelli degli aminoacidi competitori della tirosina. Un pasto solo proteico, pur innalzando i livelli serici di tirosina, non sembra far aumentare tuttavia la sintesi dei neurotrasmettitori
It says that if you take tyrosine with complex carboidrates (pasta and so on) this leads to an increase of the dopamine and NE, because complex carboidraites lowers at the same time the level of the competitor aminoacids. But if you take it with protein this doesn't result in an increase of dopamine and NE (even if the level of tyrosine gets higher).
Have some of you heard before something like this ?
