Journal ArticleDOI
Increased cortical kynurenate content in schizophrenia.
Robert Schwarcz,Arash Rassoulpour,Hui Qiu Wu,Deborah R. Medoff,Carol A. Tamminga,Rosalinda C. Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: In rats, chronic treatment with haloperidol did not cause an increase in kynurenate levels in the frontal cortex, indicating that the elevation observed in schizophrenia is not due to antipsychotic medication.
Journal ArticleDOI
(R,S)-3,4-dichlorobenzoylalanine (FCE 28833A) causes a large and persistent increase in brain kynurenic acid levels in rats
TL;DR: Systemic administration of the new and potent kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor (R,S)-3,4-dichlorobenzoylalanine (FCE 28833A) causes a dose-dependent elevation in endogenous kynuranine and kynurenic acid levels in rat brain tissue, rendering this compound a far more effective enhancer of kynuric acid levels than the previously described m-nitrobenzoylAlanine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type receptors in the development and maintenance of hippocampal kindling in rats.
TL;DR: It appears that NMDA-type receptors at the site of stimulation become progressively involved during the development of kindling and mediate the behavioral convulsions and focal AD observed at stage 5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry detection of extracellular kynurenine and related metabolites in normal and lesioned rat brain
TL;DR: The results indicate that the novel methodology, which allowed the measurement of extracellular kynurenine and 3-HK in the brain in vivo, will facilitate studies of brain kynuranines and of the interplay between peripheral and central kyn Laurenine pathway functions under physiological and pathological conditions.
