Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit alterations in tryptophan metabolism, mainly via the kynurenine pathway, due to higher enzymatic activity induced mainly by inflammation."7.83Tryptophan metabolism, its relation to inflammation and stress markers and association with psychological and cognitive functioning: Tasmanian Chronic Kidney Disease pilot study. ( Davies, N; Hilder, EF; Jose, MD; Karu, N; McKercher, C; Nichols, DS; Shellie, RA, 2016)
" These behavioral effects are associated with i/ a reversal of anxiety and reduced self-care, ii/ a decrease in parenchymal cytokine production, iii/ a modulation of the microglial reactivity and iv/ a decrease in microglial quinolinic acid production that is correlated with plasmatic peripheral production."3.91Microglial production of quinolinic acid as a target and a biomarker of the antidepressant effect of ketamine. ( Abdel-Ahad, P; Blatzer, M; Callebert, J; Chrétien, F; Danckaert, A; de Maricourt, P; De Medeiros, GF; Gaillard, R; Jouvion, G; Langeron, O; Launay, JM; Maignan, A; Petit, AC; Sharshar, T; Van Steenwinckel, J; Verdonk, F; Vinckier, F, 2019)
"Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit alterations in tryptophan metabolism, mainly via the kynurenine pathway, due to higher enzymatic activity induced mainly by inflammation."3.83Tryptophan metabolism, its relation to inflammation and stress markers and association with psychological and cognitive functioning: Tasmanian Chronic Kidney Disease pilot study. ( Davies, N; Hilder, EF; Jose, MD; Karu, N; McKercher, C; Nichols, DS; Shellie, RA, 2016)
"), an endogenous neuroactive metabolite of tryptophan, attenuated the most stable effect of anxiogens in this model of anxiety--a decrease in the rate of leanings-out of the dark compartment --induced by caffeine, pentylenetetrazole and yohimbine, but not by beta-phenylethylamine (PEA)."3.70Antagonism of kynurenic acid to anxiogens in mice. ( Lapin, IP, 1998)
"To investigate if blockade of the modulatory glycine site of NMDA receptors in the dorsal periaqueductal grey (DPAG) would produce anxiolytic effects, groups of 9-14 rats received microinjections into this structure of 7-chloro-kynurenic acid (7-Cl-KY, 4 and 8 nmol) or 3-amino-1-hydroxypyrrolid-2-one (HA-966, 30 or 100 nmol), two selective antagonists at the strychnine-insensitive glycine modulatory site, and were submitted to the elevated plus-maze, an ethologically based animal model of anxiety."3.69Anxiolytic effect of glycine antagonists microinjected into the dorsal periaqueductal grey. ( Carobrez, AP; Graeff, FG; Guimarães, FS; Matheus, MG; Nogueira, RL, 1994)
" In contrast, the anxiolytic effects of L-701,324 and reversal of these effects by glycine were unaffected by acute treatment with imipramine, chronic administration with placebo or the neuroleptic chlorpromazine, or sham ECS."1.31Chronic treatment with antidepressants affects glycine/NMDA receptor function: behavioral evidence.
