" Depression is hypothesized to be causally associated with an imbalance in the kynurenine pathway, with an increased metabolism down the 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK) branch of the pathway leading to increased levels of the neurotoxic metabolite, quinolinic acid (QA), which is a putative N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist."3.85Serum kynurenic acid is reduced in affective psychosis.

" In contrast, schizophrenia and psychosis are hypothesized to arise from increased metabolism of the NMDA receptor antagonist, kynurenic acid (KynA), leading to hypofunction of GABAergic interneurons, the disinhibition of pyramidal neurons and striatal hyperdopaminergia."3.85Serum kynurenic acid is reduced in affective psychosis.

"The data demonstrate an impairment of brain kynurenine pathway metabolism in schizophrenia, resulting in elevated kynurenate levels and suggesting a possible concomitant reduction in glutamate receptor function."3.71Increased cortical kynurenate content in schizophrenia. ( Medoff, D; Rassoulpour, A; Roberts, RC; Schwarcz, R; Tamminga, CA; Wu, HQ, 2001)
" In rats, chronic (6-months) treatment with haloperidol did not cause an increase in kynurenate levels in the frontal cortex, indicating that the elevation observed in schizophrenia is not due to antipsychotic medication."3.71Increased cortical kynurenate content in schizophrenia. ( Medoff, D; Rassoulpour, A; Roberts, RC; Schwarcz, R; Tamminga, CA; Wu, HQ, 2001)
