The peripheral kynurenine pathway is altered in SAD and preferentially directed towards KYNA synthesis. Additionally, kynurenine pathway activation, as evidenced by elevated KYN and KYN/TRYP ratio, is evident in SAD patients with a history of past suicide attempt. While no differences in pro-inflammatory cytokines is apparent in SAD patients, lower anti-inflammatory IL-10 levels are seen in SAD males. Further investigation of the role of the immune-kynurenine pathway in SAD and other clinical anxiety disorders is warranted.

I noticed this pathway referred to in a recent presentation about the benefits of a particular strain of Bifidobacterium Longum IE: the Zenflore strain, "1714-Serenitas".. Wondered if it might be worth looking into further.
Here is the video I saw. NB It's promoting Microbiome Labs formulations of B Longum 1714. Mods remove if inappropriate.
*I purchased the Zenflore product BTW, from Europe. Going through hoops currently to get it here, but hope to have it in a couple of weeks.
