drug target | contents of L-tryptophan and monoamines and their metabolites are measured in the serum and hippocampus of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase KO mice. It is investigated whether antidepressants improve the depressive-like behaviors in kynurenine 3-monooxygenase KO mice. KO mice show antidepressants-responsive depressive-like behaviors and monoaminergic dysfunctions via abnormality of kynurenine metabolism with good validities as model for major depressive disorder | Mus musculus |
malfunction | contents of L-tryptophan and monoamines and their metabolites are measured in the serum and hippocampus of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase KO mice. It is investigated whether antidepressants improve the depressive-like behaviors in kynurenine 3-monooxygenase KO mice. A deficiency in kynurenine 3-monooxygenase appears to be implicated in antidepressant-responsive depression-like behaviors. In the kynurenine 3-monooxygenase KO mice, there are abnormal kynurenine pathway metabolites and monoamines. The abnormal monoamines in addition to the abnormal kynurenine pathway metabolites may play an important role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder | Mus musculus |
metabolism | pivotal enzyme in kynurenine pathway | Mus musculus |
