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 ...

Neostriatal and cortical quinolinate levels are increased in early grade Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease (HD), an inherited neurodegenerative disorder, is caused by an abnormal polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein. This genetic defect may result in heightened neuronal susceptibility to excitotoxic injury, a mechanism that ...

Altered Cerebrospinal Fluid Tryptophan–Kynurenine Pathway Metabolism in Multiple System Atrophy
Abstract Background Alterations in tryptophan–kynurenine (TRP‐KYN) metabolism, which is associated with neuroinflammation, remain unclear in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Objective The aim was to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TRP metabolites in MSA and their associations with other biomarkers.
