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

It takes two to tango: NAD+ and sirtuins in aging/longevity control [PDF]
, 2016 The coupling of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) breakdown and protein deacylation is a unique feature of the family of proteins called ‘sirtuins.’ This intimate connection between NAD+ and sirtuins has an ancient origin and provides a ...

Quinolinic acid, the inescapable neurotoxin [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2012 Over the last two decades, evidence for the involvement of quinolinic acid (QUIN) in neuroinflammatory diseases has been exponentially increasing. Within the brain, QUIN is produced and released by infiltrating macrophages and activated microglia, the very cells that are prominent during neuroinflammation.
