quinolinic acid and Measles

quinolinic acid has been researched along with Measles in 1 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.

Measles: A highly contagious infectious disease caused by MORBILLIVIRUS, common among children but also seen in the nonimmune of any age, in which the virus enters the respiratory tract via droplet nuclei and multiplies in the epithelial cells, spreading throughout the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In order to examine the status of quinolinic acid (QUIN) metabolism in a model of delayed excitotoxic neurodegeneration, the de novo production of QUIN from 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid was assessed in brain homogenates and brain slices of mice injected with hamster neurotropic measles virus."7.69Increased brain quinolinic acid production in mice infected with a hamster neurotropic measles virus. ( Eastman, CL; Kristensson, K; Löve, A; Schwarcz, R; Urbańska, E, 1994)
