Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"For this purpose, male and female abstinent AUD patients (N = 130) and healthy controls (N = 80) were clinically evaluated for substance use and mental disorders, and blood samples were collected to determine plasma concentrations of TRP, 5-HT, KYN and kynurenic acid (KA) using high performance liquid chromatography."3.96Plasma tryptophan and kynurenine pathway metabolites in abstinent patients with alcohol use disorder and high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity. ( Araos, P; Colado, MI; Flores-López, M; García-Marchena, N; O'Shea, E; Pavón, FJ; Requena-Ocaña, N; Rodríguez de Fonseca, F; Rubio, G; Serrano, A; Suárez, J; Vidal, R, 2020)
"Circulating neopterin and kynurenine/tryptophan ratio (KTR) increase during inflammation and serve as markers of cellular immune activation, but data are sparse on other determinants of these markers and metabolites of the kynurenine pathway."3.79A community-based study on determinants of circulating markers of cellular immune activation and kynurenines: the Hordaland Health Study. ( Eussen, SJ; Midttun, Ø; Nygård, O; Tell, GS; Theofylaktopoulou, D; Ueland, PM; Ulvik, A; Vollset, SE, 2013)
"Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous metabolite in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation and is an antagonist at the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate as well as at the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors."1.33Age-related increase of kynurenic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid - IgG and beta2-microglobulin changes. ( Baran, H; Ferraz-Leite, H; Kainz, A; Kalina, P; Kepplinger, B; Newcombe, J, 2005)
