LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Effects of ethylenediamine – a putative GABA-releasing agent – on rat hippocampal slices and neocortical activity in vivo [PDF]

, 2010
The simple diamine diaminoethane (ethylenediamine, EDA) has been shown to activate GABA receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems, partly by a direct action and partly by releasing endogenous GABA.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Does the type of exercise affect tryptophan catabolism in horses?

Animal, 2021
Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid which metabolises via the kynurenine pathway to generate a number of bioactive substances referred to as kynurenines.

Kynurenic acid blocks chemogenic nociception

Journal 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 ...

Kynurenine pathway inhibition reduces central nervous system inflammation in a model of human African trypanosomiasis [PDF]

, 2009
Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is caused by the protozoan parasites <i>Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense</i> or <i>Trypanosoma brucei gambiense</i>, and is a major cause of systemic and neurological disability ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Age-related increase of kynurenic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid-IgG and beta(2)-microglobulin changes [PDF]

, 2005
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous metabolite in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation and is an antagonist at the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate as well as at the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors. In the brain tissue KYNA

Systematic Review with Meta‐Analysis of Biofluid Markers for Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Eight Huntington's Disease Biofluid Markers show Meta‐Analytic Significance Across HD‐ISS Stages. Meta‐analyses were conducted for two types of biomarkers: Different from demographically‐matched healthy controls and *Showing change over time. Abstract Primary therapeutic objectives for Huntington's disease (HD) necessitate continued therapy for a long ...

Synthesis of New C-3 Substituted Kynurenic Acid Derivatives

Molecules, 2020
The application of kynurenic acid (KYNA) as an electron-rich aromatic system in the modified Mannich reaction has been examined. The extension possibility of the reaction was tested by using amines occurring in a number of bioactive products, such as ...
