The effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on serum kynurenine pathway metabolites in late-life depression

Background: Depression is reportedly associated with alterations in kynurenine pathway metabolites (kynurenines). Several kynurenines are involved in glutamate signaling, and some have potentially neurotoxic effects while others are considered neuroprotective. The pathway is upregulated under inflam...
