quinolinic acid and Bipolar Disorder

quinolinic acid has been researched along with Bipolar Disorder in 6 studies

Quinolinic Acid: A metabolite of tryptophan with a possible role in neurodegenerative disorders. Elevated CSF levels of quinolinic acid are correlated with the severity of neuropsychological deficits in patients who have AIDS.
pyridinedicarboxylic acid : Any member of the class of pyridines carrying two carboxy groups.
quinolinic acid : A pyridinedicarboxylic acid that is pyridine substituted by carboxy groups at positions 2 and 3. It is a metabolite of tryptophan.

Bipolar Disorder: A major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.

"Growing evidence suggests that a dysregulation of the kynurenine pathway (KP) occurs in bipolar disorder (BD)."9.12The kynurenine pathway in bipolar disorder: a meta-analysis on the peripheral blood levels of tryptophan and related metabolites. ( Bartoli, F; Callovini, T; Carrà, G; Cavaleri, D; Cioni, RM; Crocamo, C; Misiak, B; Savitz, JB, 2021)
"Inflammation-related changes in the concentrations of kynurenine-pathway metabolites occur in depression secondary to medical conditions but have not been well characterized in primary bipolar disorder (BD), with contradictory results potentially attributable to the presence or absence of psychosis and/or medication effects."7.81Neuroprotective kynurenine metabolite indices are abnormally reduced and positively associated with hippocampal and amygdalar volume in bipolar disorder. ( Bellgowan, PS; Bodurka, J; Dantzer, R; Drevets, WC; Ford, BN; Savitz, J; Teague, TK; Victor, TA; Wurfel, BE, 2015)
"Growing evidence suggests that a dysregulation of the kynurenine pathway (KP) occurs in bipolar disorder (BD)."5.12The kynurenine pathway in bipolar disorder: a meta-analysis on the peripheral blood levels of tryptophan and related metabolites. ( Bartoli, F; Callovini, T; Carrà, G; Cavaleri, D; Cioni, RM; Crocamo, C; Misiak, B; Savitz, JB, 2021)
" Depression is hypothesized to be causally associated with an imbalance in the kynurenine pathway, with an increased metabolism down the 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK) branch of the pathway leading to increased levels of the neurotoxic metabolite, quinolinic acid (QA), which is a putative N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist."3.85Serum kynurenic acid is reduced in affective psychosis. ( Bliss, SA; Dantzer, R; Drevets, WC; Ford, BN; McMillin, JR; Morris, HM; Savitz, JB; Suzuki, H; Teague, TK; Wurfel, BE, 2017)
"Increased cytokines and kynurenic acid (KYNA) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have been reported in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder."3.85Kynurenic acid and psychotic symptoms and personality traits in twins with psychiatric morbidity. ( Bhat, M; Cannon, TD; Engberg, G; Erhardt, S; Hultman, CM; Johansson, V; Kegel, ME; Landén, M; Schuppe-Koistinen, I; Schwieler, L; Wetterberg, L, 2017)
