Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide which can cause high mortality to humans. However, relatively few studies focus on metabolic feature of PQ intoxication for investigating the underlying mechanisms. Here we performed non-targeted metabolomics profiling of serum samples from

Tryptophan-derived indole compounds have been widely investigated as antioxidants and as free-radical scavengers. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), one of these compounds, is a deamination product of tryptophan. In the present study, we used Mongolian gerbils to investigate IPA's neuroprotective effects against

The antirepressor indole 3-propanoate has been shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in a different orientation compared with the natural corepressor for the tryp repressor, L-tryptophan (Lawson, C.L. & Sigler, P. B. (1988) Nature 333, 869-871). This suggests a simple
Aging is a multi-factorial process, however, it is generally accepted that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are significant contributors. Mitochondria are important players in the aging process because they produce most of the cellular ROS. Despite the strength of the free-radical

Chemiluminescence associated with oxidation by free radicals was investigated in an alkaline, hemin-catalysed hydrogen peroxide system, using the following tryptophan metabolites as radical scavengers: indole-3-pyruvic, indole-3-propionic, kynurenic, xanthurenic and quinaldic acids and 4-hydroxy-quinoline. Light emission from oxidation of the indolic
