CSF Concentrations of Brain Tryptophan and Kynurenines during Immune Stimulation with IFN-alpha: Relationship to CNS Immune Responses and Depression

Cytokine-induced activation of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) catabolizes L-tryptophan (TRP) into L-kynurenine (KYN), which is metabolized to quinolinic acid (QUIN) and kynurenic acid (KA). QUIN and KA are neuroactive and may contribute to the behavioral changes experienced by some patients durin...
