Tryptophan metabolism and vitamin B6 nutritional status in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni and in infected mice.
(Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Medicine,, 1992)Patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni showed an abnormal response to a test dose of tryptophan, with little increase in the urinary excretion of kynurenine, hydroxykynurenine, xanthurenic and kynurenic acids, N1-methyl ... -
Tryptophan metabolism in baboons: effect of riboflavin and pyridoxine deficiency
(University of Nairobi, 1975)Adult male baboons were given an adequate artificial diet to appetite or the same diet without riboflavin or pyridoxine; a further group were pair-fed with those on the deficient diets. In baboons deprived of pyridoxine ... -
Tryptophan metabolism in vitamin B6-deficient mice.
(Cambridge, 1990)Vitamin B6 deficiency was induced in mice by maintenance for 4 weeks on a vitamin B6-free diet. Tryptophan metabolism was assessed by determining the urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites, the metabolism of [14C]tryptophan ... -
