Effect of Late Second to Early Third Trimester of Pregnancy on the Activity of Renal Organic Anion Transporters (OAT1 and OAT3): A Biomarker Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pregnant individuals take drugs throughout pregnancy and many of these drugs (e.g., antivirals, antibiotics) are eliminated by renal organic anion transporters (OAT) 1 and OAT3. In vivo studies with OAT1/3 substrate drugs suggest that pregnancy increases renal OAT1/3 activities by 1.5‐ to 1.8‐fold.

Distress Intolerance, Kynurenic Acid, and Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA Psychiatry, 2014
We are all intuitively aware that when we are under stress, we think differently and often less well than when we are calmer. The study by Chiapelli et al1 in this issue of the journal addresses some of the critical links underlying the effects of stress on cognition.

Chemotropic guidance facilitates axonal regeneration and synapse formation after spinal cord injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A principal objective of spinal cord injury (SCI) research is the restoration of axonal connectivity to denervated targets. We tested the hypothesis that chemotropic mechanisms would guide regenerating spinal cord axons to appropriate brainstem targets ...

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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Multi‐omics biomarkers for intestinal infection and inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease: Current evidence, translational challenges, and diagnostic opportunities

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Prospective multi‐site cohorts, multi‐omics profiling, and computational analysis may help identify biomarker patterns across clinical settings in IBD and superimposed infections. With further mechanistic and clinical validation, these signals could support the development of practical multi‐analyte tools for more precise diagnosis and management ...

Does the type of exercise affect tryptophan catabolism in horses?

open access: yesAnimal, 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.
