Interestingly, the gut metabolic module aspartate degradation I, which converts L-aspartate to oxaloacetate by aspartate aminotransferase, was elevated in SAD patients and the authors hypothesized that bacterial aspartate aminotransferase enzyme activity may represent a link between gut microbiome function and the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, a key physiological system in psychiatric disorders (Butler et al., 2023)
