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.

Tryptophan metabolism in bipolar disorder
Introduction Immune mediated inflammatory processes are involved in the aetiopathogenesis of bipolar disorder (BD) and weight associated comorbidities. Tryptophan breakdown via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1) along the kynurenine axis concomitant ...

Tryptophan Metabolism in Alcoholism [PDF]
Studies of tryptophan (Trp) metabolism in relation to the serotonin status in alcoholism are of 2 types: (1) those related to the pharmacological effects of ethanol; (2) those concerning the serotonin status in the absence of alcohol intake. In experimental animals, acute and chronic ethanol administration and subsequent withdrawal exert a variety of ...

An expanding range of targets for kynurenine metabolites of tryptophan [PDF]
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism accounts for most of the tryptophan that is not committed to protein synthesis and includes compounds active in the nervous and immune systems.

The Engagement of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Tryptophan Metabolism
Tryptophan is metabolized along three main metabolic pathways, namely the kynurenine, serotonin and indole pathways. The majority of tryptophan is transformed via the kynurenine pathway, catalyzed by tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase or indoleamine-2,3 ...

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]
Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...
