Tryptophan Metabolism in Inflammaging: From Biomarker to Therapeutic Target

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Inflammation aims to restore tissue homeostasis after injury or infection. Age-related decline of tissue homeostasis causes a physiological low-grade chronic inflammatory phenotype known as inflammaging that is involved in many age-related diseases ...

Melatonin as a Multipotent Component of Fish Feed: Basic Information for Its Potential Application in Aquaculture

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In vertebrates, melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine, MEL) is synthesized from L-tryptophan (L-Trp), primarily in the pineal gland and additionally in several non-pineal tissues, including enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract.

Differential Compartmentalization of Enzymatic Reactions for Lactate Signaling Across Protocells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two populations of protocells consisting of giant unilamellar vesicles containing active species and distinct artificial organelles are competent of collective behavior by mimicking production, intercellular communication, and detection of the bioinspired signal molecule lactate. Enzymatic cascade reactions within artificial organelles demonstrate that

Controlled Aggregation of Pyrene‐Based Supramolecular Nanostructures for Light‐Driven Switchable H2 or H2O2 Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports the self‐assembly of a pyrene derivative into two distinct nanostructures and their application in visible‐light photocatalysis. The two nanostructures exhibit completely different yet complementary photocatalytic activities, promoting either H2 or H2O2 evolution.

Tryptophan catabolism by tryptophan pyrrolase in rat liver. The effect of tryptophan loads and changes in tryptophan pyrrolase activity.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1975
We investigated how changes in tryptophan pyrrolase activity and tryptophan loads affect the breakdown of tryptophan was estimated by injecting rats with [ring-2-14-C]tryptophan and measuring respiratory 14-CO2. We concluded, contrary to previous reports, that induction of tryptophan pyrrolase definitely will increase the rate of tryptophan breakdown ...
