kynurenine and Critical Illness

kynurenine has been researched along with Critical Illness in 7 studies

Kynurenine: A metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan metabolized via the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway.
kynurenine : A ketone that is alanine in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 2-aminobenzoyl group.

Critical Illness: A disease or state in which death is possible or imminent.

"Kynurenine monooxygenase (KMO) blockade protects against multiple organ failure caused by acute pancreatitis (AP), but the link between KMO and systemic inflammation has eluded discovery until now."8.31Kynurenine monooxygenase regulates inflammation during critical illness and recovery in experimental acute pancreatitis.

"It has recently been shown that an increased plasma level of the tryptophan catabolite kynurenine is an early indicator for the development of sepsis in major trauma patients."7.76Excessive tryptophan catabolism along the kynurenine pathway precedes ongoing sepsis in critically ill patients. ( Domanska, G; Fusch, G; Gruendling, M; Haas, JP; Holtfreter, B; Reinke, P; Schefold, JC; Schuett, C; Westerholt, A; Zeden, JP, 2010)
" In this review, we highlight these pathways as sources of serotonin and melatonin, which then regulate neurotransmission, influence circadian rhythm, cognitive functions, and the development of delirium."5.12Tryptophan: A Unique Role in the Critically Ill. ( Kanova, M; Kohout, P, 2021)
