Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...

Imbalanced Kynurenine Pathway in Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Tryptophan Research, 2014
Several studies suggest a role for kynurenic acid (KYNA) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. It has been proposed that increased brain KYNA levels in schizophrenia result from a pathological shift in the kynurenine pathway toward enhanced KYNA formation, away from the other branch of the pathway leading to quinolinic acid (QUIN).

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

Kynurenine pathway in bipolar disorder [PDF]

open access: yesPsychiatriki, 2019
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic psychiatric illness which, among other things, is characterized by cerebral dysfunctions, cognitive disorders and sleep disturbances. The neurobiological basis of these processes remains unclear. In recent years, studies have focused on the role of immune-inflammatory mechanisms induced by the tryptophan metabolism ...

An expanding range of targets for kynurenine metabolites of tryptophan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism accounts for most of the tryptophan that is not committed to protein synthesis and includes compounds active in the nervous and immune systems.

Interleukin‐6 promotes skeletal muscle catabolism by activating tryptophan–indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1–kynurenine pathway during intra‐abdominal sepsis

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Inflammatory cytokine interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle degradation after intra‐abdominal sepsis (IAS), with mechanism remained to be elucidated. Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO‐1), a key enzyme in converting tryptophan into

Kynurenines in CNS disease: regulation by inflammatory cytokines

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

The kynurenine pathway as a therapeutic target in cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Understanding the neurochemical basis for cognitive function is one of the major goals of neuroscience, with a potential impact on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Relation of the Kynurenine Pathway With Normal Age: A Systematic Review.

open access: yesMechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2023
BACKGROUND The kynurenine pathway (KP) is gaining more attention as a common pathway involved in age-related conditions. However, which changes in the KP occur due to normal ageing is still largely unclear.
