quinolinic acid and Dementia Praecox

quinolinic acid has been researched along with Dementia Praecox in 25 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.
