Tryptophan metabolism in depression.
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. Female endogenously depressed subjects excreted significantly more kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynuren...
متن کاملTryptophan metabolism in alcoholism.
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 effects on brain serotonin synthesis and tur...
متن کاملTryptophan Metabolism in Man.
The amino acid tryptophan is unique because it contains the indole nucleus and because it is metabolized in man through several different biochemical pathways to a number of specific products. It is the precursor of serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. In addition, after cleavage of the indole ring, it may be metabolized by way of the kynurenine pathway to 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and ult...
متن کاملTryptophan metabolism in rheumatoid neuropathies.
Peripheral neuropathy is an established complication of rheumatoid arthritis (Pallis and Scott, 1965). The clinical, electrophysiological, and histological features have been described previously (Chamberlain and Bruckner, 1970; Weller, Bruckner, and Chamberlain, 1970). The underlying aetiology of the neuropathy is usually ascribable to a vascular lesion, but an occasional case is reported in w...
