Neopterin and Kynurenine in Mesangioproliferative Glomerulonephritis

Pteridines, 1998
Serum kynurenine and neopterin concentrations were determined in patients with chronic mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with normal renal function and in patients with chronic renal failure. Significantly increased kynurenine and neopterin levels

Kynurenines in CNS disease: regulation by inflammatory cytokines

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The kynurenine pathway metabolizes the essential amino acid tryptophan and generates a number of neuroactive metabolites collectively called the kynurenines.

Cerebrospinal fluid kynurenine and kynurenic acid concentrations are associated with coma duration and long-term neurocognitive impairment in Ugandan children with cerebral malaria

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background One-fourth of children with cerebral malaria (CM) retain cognitive sequelae up to 2 years after acute disease. The kynurenine pathway of the brain, forming neuroactive metabolites, e.g.

Kynurenines and Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. In recent years, it has been proven that the kynurenine system plays a significant role in the development of several nervous system ...

Kynurenine causes vasodilation and hypotension induced by activation of KCNQ-encoded voltage-dependent K+ channels

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Kynurenine is a potential contributor to hypotension in animal and human sepsis. The present study was designed to examine whether the voltage-dependent K+ channels encoded by the KCNQ gene family (Kv7 channels) mediate vasodilator effects of kynurenine ...

Kynurenine pathway activation in Human African trypanosomiasis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan oxidation is associated with CNS inflammatory pathways. Inhibition of this pathway ameliorates CNS inflammation in rodent models of the late (meningoencephalitic) stage of Human African trypanosomiasis ...

The kynurenine pathway.

, 2020
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the major route of Trp degradation. The first step is the formation of formylkynurenine from Trp, catalysed by hepatic tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), predominantly expressed in the liver, or indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase ...

Addiction and the kynurenine pathway: A new dancing couple?

, 2021
Drug use poses a serious threat to health systems throughout the world and the number of consumers rises relentlessly every year. The kynurenine pathway, main pathway of tryptophan degradation, has drawn interest in this field due to its relationship ...
