kynurenine and Vitiligo

kynurenine has been researched along with Vitiligo in 2 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.

Vitiligo: A disorder consisting of areas of macular depigmentation, commonly on extensor aspects of extremities, on the face or neck, and in skin folds. Age of onset is often in young adulthood and the condition tends to progress gradually with lesions enlarging and extending until a quiescent state is reached.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Tryptophan metabolism "via kynurenine" is altered in vitiligo: after a load of the amino acid the urinary excretion of 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid is decreased, whereas that of xanthurenic acid and its 8-methyl ether is increased."7.66Alterations of the tryptophan--nicotinic acid metabolism in vitiligo. ( Allegri, G; Cardin Dè Stefani, EL; Costa, C; De Antoni, A; Vanzan, S, 1982)
