Metabolism of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway in alloxan diabetic rabbits.
TLDR
In diabetic rabbits, there is an alteration of tryptophan metabolism at the level of 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid --> nicotinic acid step, which has the effect of reducing the biosynthesis of NAD in diabetes.
Tryptophan metabolism in rabbits.
TLDR
It is suggested that, in rabbit, tryptophan is mainly metabolised along the kynurenine pathway although the apo-TDO enzyme is lacking, as high indole 2,3-dioxygenase activity can obviate this lack.
Enzyme activities of tryptophan metabolism along the kynurenine pathway in various species of animals.
Cloricromene effect on the enzyme activities of the tryptophan-nicotinic acid pathway in diabetic/hyperlipidemic rabbits.
The kynurenine pathway enzymes in healthy and hyperlipidemic rabbits.
TLDR
Hyperlipidemia can influence enzyme activities along the kynurenine pathway, leading to a reduction in the biosynthesis of NAD coenzymes.
The effect of age on the enzyme activities of tryptophan metabolism along the kynurenine pathway in rats.
Kynurenine pathway enzymes in different species of animals.
TLDR
The activity of aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase was higher in kidney than in liver only in guinea pig, whereas in rat and mouse, serum tryptophan levels were higher, rat having the highest concentrations.
Experimental diabetes mellitus type 1 increases hippocampal content of kynurenic acid in rats.

TLDR
It is proposed that maintenance of the NAD+ level is essential for the synthesis and secretion of insulin, and presented a unifying model for beta-cell damage and its prevention (The Okamoto model), in which PARP activation plays an essential role.
Identification of novel molecular candidates for fatty liver in the hyperlipidemic mouse model, HcB19 Published, JLR Papers in Press, April 1, 2004. DOI 10.1194/jlr.M400062-JLR200
TLDR
Several differential proteins in the hepatic proteome of mice with fatty liver, including PCCA and 3HAAO, are newly identified and confirmed differential expression of previously reported proteins.

TLDR
It is suggested that rat, mouse, pig, turkey, chicken and possibly man are not suitable as models for studying human tryptophan metabolism and the hormonal mechanism of induction of the pyrrolase is absent from species lacking the apoenzyme.
