Modulation of Enzyme Activity in the Kynurenine Pathway by Kynurenine Monooxygenase Inhibition [PDF]
The kynurenine pathway is the major route for tryptophan metabolism in mammals. Several of the metabolites in the kynurenine pathway, however, are potentially toxic, particularly 3-hydroxykynurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, and quinolinic acid ...

The kynurenine pathway in Alzheimer’s disease: a meta-analysis of central and peripheral levels [PDF]
Objective: Changes in the kynurenine pathway are recognized in psychiatric disorders, but their role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is less clear. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether tryptophan and kynurenine ...

Dissecting the enigma of scleroderma: possible involvement of the kynurenine pathway
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the metabolic pathway via which L-tryptophan is converted to nicotinamide. It serves important immune-regulatory roles. This article will review the evidence for involvement of the KP in scleroderma and present a possible ...
