Serum kynurenic acid is reduced in affective psychosis [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2017
A subgroup of individuals with mood and psychotic disorders shows evidence of inflammation that leads to activation of the kynurenine pathway and the increased production of neuroactive kynurenine metabolites. Depression is hypothesized to be causally associated with an imbalance in the kynurenine pathway, with an increased metabolism down the 3 ...

Depression and sickness behavior are Janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Alterations and mechanistic insights of gut microbiota and its metabolites in type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This narrative review uniquely addresses how gut microbiota‐derived metabolites mediate overlapping pathologies of insulin resistance, neuroinflammation, and amyloidogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), proposing a framework for dual therapeutic targeting.

Similarity Between the Action of Pteridines and Tryptophan Metabolites on Lipid Metabolism

open access: yesPteridines, 1999
Incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipids has been investigated using samples of rat liver tissue homogenate, Krebs-Ringer-phosphate buffer (pH=7.4) containing 0.3% albumin, fatty acid mixture and glycerol. The addition of anthranilic acid (2.2 and

Oxygen/Glucose deprivation induces a reduction in synaptic AMPA receptors on hippocampal CA3 neurons mediated by mGluR1 and adenosine A3 receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons are highly sensitive to ischemic damage, whereas neighboring CA3 pyramidal neurons are less susceptible. It is proposed that switching of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunits on CA1 neurons during an in vitro model of ischemia,

Kynurenic acid blocks chemogenic nociception

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1990
Abstract Previous studies have suggested a role of excitatory amino acids (EAA) in nociception. In the present study the effects of two antagonists of EAA-receptors on capsaicin-induced eye wipings were investigated. Intracisternally administered kynurenic acid, in contrast to intravenously administered MK-801, was found to effectively ...

Research progress on the kynurenine pathway in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterised by progressive death of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and pathological accumulation of α-synuclein fibrils, as well as central nervous system inflammation.

Melanocortins and agouti-related protein modulate the excitability of two arcuate nucleus neuron populations by alteration of resting potassium conductances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The hypothalamic melanocortin system is crucial for the control of appetite and body weight. Two of the five melanocortin receptors, MC3R and MC4R are involved in hypothalamic control of energy homeostasis, with the MC4R having the major influence. It is
