Enteric ChAT-Expressing Neurons Mediate the Protective Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. [PDF]
In colitis patients and mice, reduced Lactobacillus abundance is observed. Experimental studies show that L. plantarum A736 metabolizes dietary tryptophan into indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA), while both L. plantarum A736 and ILA impact ChAT‐expressing enteric neurons and acetylcholine levels, thereby regulating intestinal immune responses and alleviating ...

Altered Tryptophan Catabolism in Placentas From Women With Pre-eclampsia
Background: The kynurenine pathway enzymes, breaking down tryptophan, are abundant in placental tissue. These metabolites are involved in immunoregulatory mechanisms, although the role of this pathway in pre-eclampsia (PE) has only begun to be ...
