The kynurenine pathway and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2015
Neuroactive metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan degradation have been closely linked to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required for protein synthesis, and in higher eukaryotes is also converted into the key neurotransmitters serotonin and tryptamine. However, in mammals

The effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on serum kynurenine pathway metabolites in late-life depression

open access: yesJournal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2023
Background: Depression is reportedly associated with alterations in kynurenine pathway metabolites (kynurenines). Several kynurenines are involved in glutamate signaling, and some have potentially neurotoxic effects while others are considered ...

The Role of Activation of the Tryptophan-Kynurenine Axis in the Pathogenesis of Acute Cerebrovascular Diseases: A Literature Review [PDF]

open access: yesĶazaķstannyṇ Klinikalyķ Medicinasy
Introduction: Acute cerebrovascular disorders are a major contributor to adult disability. The underlying processes that contribute to their development include inflammation, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and dysregulation of the tryptophan ...

Immunometabolic Network Interactions of the Kynurenine Pathway in Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Dysregulation of the kynurenine pathway has been regarded as a mechanism of tumor immune escape by the enzymatic activity of indoleamine 2, 3 dioxygenase and kynurenine production. However, the immune-modulatory properties of other kynurenine metabolites

Peripheral tryptophan and serotonin and kynurenine pathways in major depression: A case-control study

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry, 2021
Introduction The tryptophan pathway along with its two branches of metabolism to serotonin and kynurenine seems to be affected in major depression.

Kynurenine pathway and human systems

open access: yesExperimental Gerontology, 2020
The essential amino acid L-tryptophan (Trp) appears to play an important role in aging by acting as a general regulator of protein homeostasis. The major route of Trp degradation, the kynurenine pathway (KP), produces a range of biologically active metabolites that can impact or be impacted by a variety of body systems, including the endocrine ...

Kynurenine pathway metabolites in migraine [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain, 2015
Kynurenine pathway (KP), the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to activate glutamate receptors, thus potentially influencing a large group of functions in the central ...
