The spontaneous urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites "via kynurenine" in women with regards to the prepuberty, sexual maturity and menopause.
High values of anthranilic acid, 3-OH-kynurenine, xanthurenic acid and 3-OH-anthranilic acid are observed in the spontaneous urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites in girls in the prepubertal age. The highest differences are between the 3-hydroxy metabolites especially the 3-hydroxykynurenine. On the other hand, this metabolic excretion in postmenopausal women is statistically identical to that of women in sexual maturity.
