quinolinic acid and Depression, Involutional

quinolinic acid has been researched along with Depression, Involutional in 23 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.

Depression, Involutional: Form of depression in those MIDDLE AGE with feelings of ANXIETY.

" 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.
