kynurenine and Depression

kynurenine has been researched along with Depression in 198 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.

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

The DASS includes three scales (depression, anxiety and stress) of which each scale includes 14 items that are divided into subscales of 2-5 items of similar content.~Items are answered on a four point rating scale ranging from 0 = not at all to 3 = very much. Scores of each scale are calculated by summing the scores for the relevant items.~The anxiety scale assesses autonomic arousal, skeletal muscle effects, situational anxiety, and subjective experience of anxious affect. The items are 2, 4, 7, 9, 15, 19, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 36, 40, 41 and individual scores can range from 0 to 42 with higher scores indicating greater severity of the symptoms." (NCT03494725)

Changes in Pre and Post Treatment DASS Depression Scores

"Efficacy of the intake of Lpc-37 on the reduction of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) depression scores compared to placebo.~Measured with the german version of the DASS as a 42-item self report instrument designed to measure negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and stress during the past week. The DASS includes three scales (depression, anxiety and stress) of which each scale includes 14 items that are divided into subscales of 2-5 items of similar content.~Items are answered on a four point rating scale ranging from 0 = not at all to 3 = very much. Scores of each scale are calculated by summing the scores for the relevant items.~The Depression scale assesses dysphoria, hopelessness, devaluation of life, self-deprecation, lack of interest/involvement, anhedonia, and inertia. The items are 3, 5, 10, 13, 16, 17, 21, 24, 26, 31, 34, 37, 38, 42 and individual scores can range from 0 to 42 with higher scores indicating greater severity of the symptoms." (NCT03494725)
