kynurenine and Nerve Degeneration

kynurenine has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 13 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.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

" The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of glutathione on 3-hydroxykynurenine, 6-hydroxydopamine and salsolinol mediated neurotoxicity in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line in order to find a possible therapeutic application of this compound to neurodegenerative disorders."7.78Low level of glutathione can intensify the toxic effect of salsolinol in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line. ( Melzig, MF; Wszelaki, N, 2012)
