One‐carbon metabolism, folate, zinc and translation
The translation machinery integrates the metabolism of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and phospahte via a tight association between one‐carbon metabolism and the zinc divalent ion. Summary The translation process, central to life, is tightly connected to the one‐carbon (1‐C) metabolism via a plethora of macromolecule modifications and specific effectors ...

Neopterin-induced Suppression of Erythropoietin Production In Vitro
The production of neopterin increases in several diseases with activation of the ceIlular immune response. As previously shown serum concentrations of neopterin are inversely correlated with blood hemoglobin concentrations in the anemia of hematological ...

Neopterin, 7,8-dihydroneopterin and 5,6,7,8-terahydroneopterm are secreted by human macrophages after activation by interferon-γ. The biological stability of the reduced pterins is less than one hour and therefore distinctly lower than that of neopterin.

Cold water immersion is thought to reduce the inflammatory response to injury. Using cultured mononuclear cells and human subjects in a mixed martial arts (MMA) contest, we examined the effect of cryotherapy on 7,8-dihydroneopterin and neopterin ...

Measurement of changes in urinary neopterin and total neopterin in body builders using SCX HPLC
Body building is a sport where ultrastructual damage to muscle fibres aids the development of dense muscle layers. Using a new strong cation exchange (SCX) based chromatography technique to measure neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin, we investigated ...

Pteridines and Lipid Metabolism
The effect of 9 different pteridines on fatty acid incorporation into phospholipids as well as on cholesterol and phospholipid content was compared in vitro using rat liver homogenate, Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer containing 0.3 % albumin (pH=7.4 ...
