Caloric restriction reveals a metabolomic and lipidomic signature in liver of male mice [PDF]
Lipid composition, particularly membrane unsaturation, has been proposed as being a lifespan determinant, but it is currently unknown whether caloric restriction (CR), an accepted life-extending intervention, affects cellular lipid profiles.

Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase activity in experimental human endotoxemia [PDF]
Background: Excessive tryptophan metabolism to kynurenine by the rate-limiting enzyme endothelial indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO) controls arterial vessel relaxation and causes hypotension in murine endotoxemia.

Crystal structure of the Anopheles gambiae 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase [PDF]
In Anopheles gambiae , the vector for the most deadly malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum , xanthurenic acid (XA) plays a key role in parasite gametogenesis and fertility. In mosquitoes, XA is produced by transamination of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), a reaction that represents the main ...

The Influence of Exercise Intensity on Tryptophan Metabolites in Thoroughbred Horses
Catabolism of tryptophan (Trp) is modulated by physical activity and provides a pool of active compounds: Trp is considered a calmative agent, kynurenine (Kyn) and 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HKyn) show neurotoxic effects, kynurenic acid (Kyna) and ...

Fast and low-cost evaluation of hydroxykynurenine activity
The enzyme 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase (HKT) acts as an important enzyme in tryptophan catabolism of disease-carrier insects, e.g. Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. HKT is a detoxification enzyme that converts 3-hydroxykynurenine (a precursor for
