Tetrahydrobiopterin Uptake in Supplemental Administration: Elevation of Tissue Tetrahydrobiopterin in Mice Following Uptake of the Exogenously Oxidized Product 7,8-Dihydrobiopterin and Subsequent Reduction by an Anti-folate-Sensitive Process

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
In order to increase the tissue level of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), supplementation with 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (6RBH4) has been widely employed. In this work, the effectiveness of 6RBH4 was compared with 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (7,8BH2) and sepiapterin by ...

Fabrication of Composite Cathode for All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The design of composite cathodes for all‐solid‐state sodium batteries must address three critical challenges—interfacial side reactions, interfacial delamination, and highly tortuous transport pathways. This work outlines structural and interfacial strategies to optimize ion transport and mechanical stability, enabling durable, and high‐performance ...

Insulin Stimulates Tetrahydrobiopterin Synthesis in Mouse Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells

Pteridines, 1999
We examined the effects of insulin on tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs). Treatment of MBMECs with insulin increased the intracellular BH4 content in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The

Stimulation of Tetrahydrobiopterin Synthesis by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor in Vascular Endothelial Cells

Pteridines, 2003
The purpose of this study was to examine whether basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells.

A fat-derived metabolite regulates a peptidergic feeding circuit in Drosophila. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2017
Here, we show that the enzymatic cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) inhibits feeding in Drosophila. BH4 biosynthesis requires the sequential action of the conserved enzymes Punch, Purple, and Sepiapterin Reductase (Sptr).

Developmental and Phenotypic Outcomes in Mild Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Benign hyperphenylalaninemia (bHPA) is defined as elevated phenylalanine (Phe) levels remaining ≤ 360 μmol/L (6 mg/dL) and not requiring medical intervention. Individuals with bHPA may demonstrate a rise in their Phe levels > 360 μmol/L, effectively developing a mild PKU phenotype requiring therapy to prevent neurocognitive complications. This

Tetrahydrobiopterin Administration Augments Exercise-Induced Hyperemia and Endothelial Function in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, auto-immune disease with variably progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, as well as vascular dysfunction.

Integrating agro‐residue valorization and clean hydrogen production: coconut fiber‐based catalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract A novel phosphoric acid‐treated green coconut fiber (GCF‐C) was developed as a catalyst for hydrogen production from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Characterization techniques confirmed structural modifications, including X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared, and ...

Exploratory study of the effect of one week of orally administered CNSA-001 (sepiapterin) on CNS levels of tetrahydrobiopterin, dihydrobiopterin and monoamine neurotransmitter metabolites in healthy volunteers

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a cofactor for the enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzymes in the production of the neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, respectively, in the central nervous system (CNS ...
