Intravenous administration of LPS activates the kynurenine pathway in healthy male human subjects: a prospective placebo-controlled cross-over trial

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background Administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria, also known as the human endotoxemia model, is a standardized and safe model of human inflammation. Experimental studies have revealed that peripheral administration of LPS

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

Inhibiting tryptophan metabolism enhances interferon therapy in kidney cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing in incidence, and a complete cure remains elusive. While immune-checkpoint antibodies are promising, interferon-based immunotherapy has been disappointing.

Peripheral and central kynurenine pathway abnormalities in major depression.

open access: yesBrain, behavior, and immunity, 2022
Considerable data relate major depressive disorder (MDD) with aberrant immune system functioning. Pro-inflammatory cytokines facilitate metabolism of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway (KP) putatively resulting in reduced neuroprotective and ...

Role of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and Kynurenine pathway in the regulation of the aging process.

open access: yesAgeing Research Reviews, 2022
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is activated in chronic inflammatory states, e.g., in the aging process and age-related diseases. IDO1 enzyme catabolizes L-tryptophan (L-Trp) into kynurenine (KYN) thus stimulating the KYN pathway. The depletion of L-

Urinary N-methylnicotinamide and β-aminoisobutyric acid predict catch-up growth in undernourished Brazilian children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Enteric infections, enteropathy and undernutrition in early childhood are preventable risk factors for child deaths, impaired neurodevelopment, and later life metabolic diseases.

Involvement of Kynurenine Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesCancers, 2021
As the second and third leading cancer-related death in men and the world, respectively, primary liver cancer remains a major concern to human health. Despite advances in diagnostic technology, patients with primary liver cancer are often diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Depression and sickness behavior are Janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

The kynurenine pathway in HIV, frailty and inflammaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Kynurenine (Kyn) is a circulating tryptophan (Trp) catabolite generated by enzymes including IDO1 that are induced by inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma.

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
