A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Major Depression

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Excitatory amino acids in synaptic transmission in the Schaffer collateral-commissural pathway of the rat hippocampus.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the synaptic receptor in the Schaffer collateral‐commissural pathway may be of the kainate or quisqualate type and although NMA receptors do not appear to be involved in normal synaptic transmission in this pathway they may play a role in synaptic plasticity.

Quinolinic acid: an endogenous metabolite that produces axon-sparing lesions in rat brain

TL;DR: Intracerebral injection of the neuroexcitatory tryptophan metabolite, quinolinic acid, has behavioral, neurochemical and neuropathological consequences reminiscent of those of exogenous excitotoxins, such as kainic and ibotenic acids.

Kynurenines in the mammalian brain: when physiology meets pathology

TL;DR: With recently developed pharmacological agents, it is now possible to restore metabolic equilibrium and envisage novel therapeutic interventions on the basis of the kynurenine pathway.

Phosphonate analogues of carboxylic acids as aminoacid antagonists on rat cortical neurones.

TL;DR: The results support the view that a distinct population of receptors exists which are preferentially activated by NMDA.

Biosynthesis in vitro of homarine and pyridine carboxylic acids in marine shrimp.

TL;DR: Proper procedures have been developed for the satisfactory separation of N-methyl quinolinate from homarine in the in vitro system.
