“Tacrolimus (FK506), cyclosporine A (CsA), sirolimus and methylprednisolone dose-dependently inhibited tryptophan degradation and neopterin production.”
“Conversely, the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 8, target of rapamycin , Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1, claudin-12 and -15a in the intestine were significantly down-regulated by Trp (P < 0.05).”
“Furthermore, l-tryptophan treatment, adenoviral AADC introduction, and serotonin treatment induced phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and a potent mTOR inhibitor rapamycin attenuated hepatocyte lipid accumulation induced by fatty acid with serotonin.”
