Measuring the Systemic Inflammatory Response to On- and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgeries Using the Tryptophan/Kynurenine Pathway

Measuring the Systemic Inflammatory Response to On- and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgeries Using the Tryptophan/Kynurenine Pathway

Background: Cardiac surgeries induce many inflammatory responses with remarkable clinical implications. Tryptophan (Trp) is a precursor for serotonin, melatonin and kynurenine (Kyn). Plasma kynurenic acid (Kyna) and Kyn concentrations are thought to be related to the severity of inflammation. Plasma...
