Activation of nociception‐sensitive ionotropic glutamate receptor‐expressing rostroventrolateral medulla neurons by stimulation of cardiac afferents in rats

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances
Myocardial ischemia causes the release of bradykinin, which activates afferent nerve endings in the ventricular epicardium. This elicits a sympathetically mediated increase in arterial pressure and heart rate, referred to as the cardiogenic sympathetic ...

Kynurenic acid and its analogues

open access: yesJournal of Medical Pharmaceutical and Allied Sciences
Tryptophan serves as a rate-limiting essential amino acid and a distinctive building block of peptides and proteins. Many immune system cells are known to be regulated by tryptophan metabolites. Kynurenic acid, an endogenous byproduct of tryptophan metabolism, functions as a wide-spectrum inhibitor of excitatory amino acid receptors and may serve as a ...

Regulation of prefrontal glutamate by the endogenous neuromodulator kynurenic acid as measured by rapid electrochemistry: relevance to schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Schizophrenia is one of the most debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders, with a prevalence of approximately 1% worldwide. Symptoms include impairing deficits in cognitive processes (e.g., working memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility) which are ...

Tryptophan metabolites clearance in hemodialyzed patients

open access: yesAmino Acids
Hemodialysis (HD) and hemodiafiltration (HDF) procedures have limited efficacy regarding removal of selected toxins. Tryptophan (Trp) metabolites formed through the kynurenine (KYN) pathway are known to contribute to kidney failure (KF) complications ...

Toll-like Receptor Activation Remodels the Polyamine and Tryptophan Metabolism in Porcine Macrophages

open access: yesMetabolites
Background: The early nutritional metabolism of piglets is intimately associated with the regulation of immune function, and amino acids play a crucial role in modulating the fate and function of porcine immune cells, especially macrophages. However, the
