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.

"The role of the endogenous convulsant kynurenine (K) in the mechanisms of the development of epileptic seizures in alcoholic persons was studied on a clinical material of 63 patients suffering from alcoholism with the presence on the EEG of paroxysmal alterations without epileptic fits (n = 28) and alcoholic epilepsy (n = 35), epileptic patients not abusing alcohol (n = 20), and practically healthy subjects (n = 10)."3.68[Pathogenic role of the endogenous convulsant kynurenine in the mechanisms of development of epileptic attacks in alcoholics].
