TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa hoc : Changes in kynurenine pathway metabolism in the brain, liver and kidney of aged female Wistar rats

The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism plays an important role in several biological systems affected by aging. We quantified tryptophan and its metabolites kynurenine (KYN), kynurenine acid (KYNA), picolinic acid (PIC) and quinolinic acid (QUIN), and activity of the kynurenine pathway enzymes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase | IFEBS Journal Changes in kynurenine pathway metabolism in the brain liver and kidney of aged female Wistar rats Nady Braidy1 Gilles J.

We quantified tryptophan and its metabolites kynurenine KYN kynurenine acid KYNA picolinic acid PIC and quinolinic acid QUIN and activity of the kynurenine pathway enzymes indoleamine 2 3-dioxygenase IDO tryptophan 2 3-dioxygenase TDO and quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase QPRTase in the brain liver and kidney of young middle-aged and old female Wistar rats. Tryptophan levels and TDO activity decreased in all tissues with age. In contrast brain IDO activity increased with age while liver and kidney IDO activity decreased with age. The levels of KYN KYNA QUIN and PIC in brain all increased with age while the levels of KYN in the liver and kidney showed a tendency to decrease. The levels of KYNA in the liver did not change but the levels of KYNA in the kidney increased. The levels of PIC and QUIN increased significantly in the liver but showed a tendency to decrease in the kidney. QPRTase activity in both brain and liver decreased .
