Figure 4From: Amino acids inhibit kynurenic acid formation via suppression of kynurenine uptake or kynurenic acid synthesis in rat brain in vitro Correlation between inhibitory rates for KYNA production and tissue KYN concentration by (a) leucine (Leu), (b) isoleucine (Ile), (c) phenylalanine (Phe), (d) tyrosine (Tyr), (e) methionine (Met), and (f) all five large neutral amino acids. Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 4–6). Lines represent linear regression of data.Back to article page
