Tryptophan metabolism is a physiological integrator regulating circadian rhythms [PDF]
Objective: The circadian clock aligns physiology with the 24-hour rotation of Earth. Light and food are the main environmental cues (zeitgebers) regulating circadian rhythms in mammals.

Tryptophan metabolism in depression [PDF]
Psychiatric patients suffering from endogenous depression and a control group without endogenous depression were given oral loads of L-tryptophan and urinary excretion determined of the tryptophan metabolites on the pyrrolase pathway: kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine, and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid.

The microbiota drives diurnal rhythms in tryptophan metabolism in the stressed gut
Summary: Chronic stress disrupts microbiota-gut-brain axis function and is associated with altered tryptophan metabolism, impaired gut barrier function, and disrupted diurnal rhythms.

New insight into arginine and tryptophan metabolism in macrophage activation during tuberculosis
Arginine and tryptophan are pivotal in orchestrating cytokine-driven macrophage polarization and immune activation. Specifically, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) stimulates inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression), leading to the conversion of ...

Characterizing the influence of gut microbiota on host tryptophan metabolism with germ-free pigs
Intestinal microbes are closely associated with host health, depending on metabolic crosstalk between the microbiota and host. Tryptophan metabolism is one of the best examples of metabolic crosstalk between intestinal microbiota and host; however, our ...

A Defect in Tryptophan Metabolism [PDF]
Oral tryptophan loading tests were performed in a patient with photosensitive pellagra-like skin rash and cerebellar ataxia but without hyperaminoaciduria. Plasma tryptophan concentrations after loading were similar in the patient and control subjects.

Metabonomic Study of the Involvement of the Intestinal Microflora in the Improvement of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) by Auricularia auricula Melanin in Mice [PDF]
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common iron deficiency disease. IDA has become one of the major public health problems worldwide. Our previous studies have shown that Auricularia auricula melanin (AAM) can alleviate IDA, but the mechanism is not clear.
