Figure 4. Effects of prenatal (EKyn) and adolescent (AdKyn) kynurenine treatment on tissue levels of kynurenic acid (KYNA) in adulthood.
(A) Treatment with kynurenine (100 mg/day; EKyn) from ED 15 to ED 22 raised KYNA in the hippocampus of adult offspring (PD 56–85). Data are the mean ± SEM (ECon: n = 6 litters; EKyn n = 4 litters). * P < 0.05 vs. control (ECon). (B) Exposure to kynurenine (300 mg/kd/day; AdKyn) from PD 42 to PD 49 did not impact KYNA levels in the hippocampus in adulthood (PD 70–85). Data are the mean ± SEM (n = 8 per group).
