Identification of biomarkers of colitis to monitor effects of dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the interleukin-10 gene-deficient mouse model of inflammatory bowel diseases : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract including the colon (colitis). Increased dietary intake of salmon, which is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), was well tolerated by IBD patients,

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 ...

Kynurenine pathway metabolism and the microbiota-gut-brain axis [PDF]
It has become increasingly clear that the gut microbiota influences not only gastrointestinal physiology but also central nervous system (CNS) function by modulating signalling pathways of the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

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.

Kynurenine and serotonin pathways: A review
This paper seeks to elucidate the two-key pathways involving tryptophan matabolism, namely, kynurenine and serotonin pathways. In the kynurenine pathway (KP), the discussion considers the steps of the oxidative degradation of tryptophan to yield nicotinate mononucleotide, a precursors for the biosynthesis of nicotinate nucleotides ( NAD+ and NADP ...

Activation of the tryptophan/serotonin pathway is associated with severity and predicts outcomes in pneumonia: results of a long-term cohort study [PDF]
As part of the immune defense during infection, an increase in enzyme activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) leads to a breakdown of tryptophan to kynurenine.

This review explores intracranial aneurysm biomarker discovery through multi‐omics. It reveals key genes, proteins, and metabolites, and shows how machine‐learning‐based multi‐modal integration may aid diagnosis and treatment. Abstract Despite extensive research, currently, no biomarkers are available for clinical use in intracranial aneurysm (IA ...

The Kynurenine Pathway in Stem Cell Biology
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the main catabolic pathway of the essential amino acid tryptophan. The KP has been identified to play a critical role in regulating immune responses in a variety of experimental settings. It is also known to be involved in several neuroinflammatory diseases including Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...
