Current evidence for a role of the Kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the major metabolic pathway of the essential amino acid tryptophan (TRP). Stimulation by inflammatory molecules such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is the trigger for induction of the KP, driving a complex cascade of production of both neuroprotective and neurotoxic metabolit...
