kynurenine and Hepatitis C

kynurenine has been researched along with Hepatitis C in 5 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.

Hepatitis C: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.

"We evaluated 101 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with PEG-IFN-α2a, and 40 controls, so as to determine the activation of indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan (TRP) and their metabolites' concentrations/levels: kynurenine (KYN), kynurenic acid (KYNA) and anthranilic acid (AA)."7.88Alterations in the metabolism of tryptophan in patients with chronic hepatitis C six months after pegylated interferon-α 2a treatment. ( Inglot, M; Laskus, T; Malyszczak, K; Pawlak, D; Pawlowski, T; Radkowski, M; Zalewska, M, 2018)
