Oxidative Storm Induced by Tryptophan Metabolites: Missing Link between Atherosclerosis and Chronic Kidney Disease

Figure 1

Tryptophan metabolism pathways, including a derivative involved in the production of reactive oxygen species. CYP2C1: cytochrome P450 2C1; L-TRP: L-tryptophan; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SULT1A1: sulfotransferase 1A1; TPase: tryptophanase.
