Predictive value of kynurenine pathway metabolites in the severity of patients with obsessive‐compulsive disorder
This study clarifies the role of the kynurenine pathway in the pathophysiology of OCD and suggests that kynurenine pathway metabolites, especially kynurenine, may serve as useful biomarkers to diagnose and differentiate OCD severity. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore therapeutic implications.
