kynurenic acid and Inflammation

kynurenic acid has been researched along with Inflammation in 58 studies

Kynurenic Acid: A broad-spectrum excitatory amino acid antagonist used as a research tool.
kynurenic acid : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is quinoline-2-carboxylic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at C-4.

Trial Outcomes

Fasting Plasma Cystathionine Concentration

For all subjects, the concentration of plasma cystathionine in fasting blood samples taken before and after the supplementation period will provide a functional measure of vitamin B6 nutritional status. (NCT01128244)
Timeframe: Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 28 days of vitamin B6 supplementation.

Interventionmicromol/L (Mean)
Baseline prior to vitamin supplementationAfter 28-days of vitamin supplementation
Plasma Cystathionine Concentration0.140.13

Fasting Plasma Pyridoxal Phosphate Concentration

For all subjects, the concentration of plasma pyridoxal phosphate in fasting blood samples taken before and after the supplementation period will provide a direct measure of vitamin B6 nutritional status. (NCT01128244)
Timeframe: Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 28 days of vitamin B6 supplementation.

Interventionnmol/L (Mean)
Baseline prior to vitamin supplementationAfter 28-days of vitamin supplementation
Plasma Pyridoxal Phosphate Concentration25.8143

Flux of Homocysteine Remethylation From Serine-derived Carbon

Data from analysis of serine, methionine and leucine in the timed blood samples of all subjects will provide a measurement of the metabolic rate of homocysteine remethylation from serine-derived carbon before and after vitamin B6 supplementation. These flux values may be slightly higher than flux of total homocysteine remethylation in Outcome Measure 1 because of the small contribution of methionine salvage to the flux measured in Outcome Measure 2. (NCT01128244)
Timeframe: Blood samples will be taken prior to infusion and at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.5, and 9h. Infusions will be conducted at baseline and after 28 days

Plasma 3-hydroxykynurenine Concentration

For all subjects, analysis of blood samples before and after vitamin B6 supplementation will allow evaluation of discriminating biomarkers using targeted metabolite profile analysis of one-carbon metabolism and tryptophan catabolism constituents. Also, we will conduct exploratory evaluation and potential identification of new biomarkers using metabolomics analysis on subjects before and after vitamin B6 supplementation. (NCT01128244)
Timeframe: April, 2010 - June, 2014

Timeframe: Blood samples will be taken prior to infusion and at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.5, and 9h. Infusions will be conducted at baseline and after 28 days
