(13)C-tryptophan breath test detects increased catabolic turnover of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway in patients with major depressive disorder

Altered tryptophan–kynurenine (KYN) metabolism has been implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD). The l-[1-(13)C]tryptophan breath test ((13)C-TBT) is a noninvasive, stable-isotope tracer method in which exhaled (13)CO(2) is attributable to tryptophan catabolism via the KYN pathway. We included...
