Serum tryptophan, kynurenine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and neopterin concentrations in 100 healthy blood donors

Serum tryptophan, kynurenine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and neopterin concentrations in 100 healthy blood donors

Formation of neopterin, a biomarker of the activated human immune system, is linked with tryptophan (TRP) and phenylalanine (PHE) metabolism. To obtain normal values, in this study, serum concentrations of neopterin as well as of TRP, PHE and their respective metabolites kynurenine (KYN) and tyrosin...
