The activity of the immunoregulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is decreased in smokers

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme involved in the degradation of the essential amino acid tryptophan (trp) to its main metabolite kynurenine (kyn), suppresses T cell activity. Smoking has marked immunomodulatory effects, above all immunosuppressive, causing a reduction in the levels of im...
