New insight into arginine and tryptophan metabolism in macrophage activation during tuberculosis
Arginine and tryptophan are pivotal in orchestrating cytokine-driven macrophage polarization and immune activation. Specifically, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) stimulates inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression), leading to the conversion of ...

Characterizing the influence of gut microbiota on host tryptophan metabolism with germ-free pigs
Intestinal microbes are closely associated with host health, depending on metabolic crosstalk between the microbiota and host. Tryptophan metabolism is one of the best examples of metabolic crosstalk between intestinal microbiota and host; however, our ...

Tryptophan metabolism is a physiological integrator regulating circadian rhythms
Objective: The circadian clock aligns physiology with the 24-hour rotation of Earth. Light and food are the main environmental cues (zeitgebers) regulating circadian rhythms in mammals.

Tryptophan metabolism as a target in gut microbiota, ageing and kidney disease. [PDF]
Aromatic amino acid tryptophan metabolism, particularly three main metabolism pathways including kynurenine, serotonin and indole-derived pathways are under the direct or indirect modulation of host-microbiota crosstalk in human physiology.

Tryptophan metabolism in health and disease.
Tryptophan (Trp) metabolism primarily involves the kynurenine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and indole pathways. A variety of bioactive compounds produced via Trp metabolism can regulate various physiological functions, including inflammation, metabolism, immune

Metabonomic Study of the Involvement of the Intestinal Microflora in the Improvement of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) by Auricularia auricula Melanin in Mice [PDF]
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common iron deficiency disease. IDA has become one of the major public health problems worldwide. Our previous studies have shown that Auricularia auricula melanin (AAM) can alleviate IDA, but the mechanism is not clear.

Tryptophan Metabolism Acts as a New Anti‐Ferroptotic Pathway to Mediate Tumor Growth
Emerging evidence reveals that amino acid metabolism plays an important role in ferroptotic cell death. The conversion of methionine to cysteine is well known to protect tumour cells from ferroptosis upon cysteine starvation through transamination ...
