IDO1 deficiency reduced the levels of neurotoxic KYN pathway metabolites. (A,B,D,E) LC-MS analysis was used to measure the concentrations of TRP and KYN in the serum and hippocampal tissues of WT and IDO1−/− mice. (C,F) The KYN/ TRP ratio in the serum and hippocampus is shown. (G,H) LC-MS analysis was used to measure the concentrations of quinolinic acid (QUIN) and kynurenic acid (KYNA) in the hippocampal tissues from WT and KO control and model mice. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 6 per group. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
