Molecular analysis of PKU-associated PAH mutations: a fast and simple genotyping test [PDF]
: Neonatal screening for phenylketonuria (PKU, OMIM: 261600) was introduced at the end of the 1960s. We developed a rapid and simple molecular test for the most frequent phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH, Gene ID: 5053) mutations.

Tetrahydro‐6‐biopterin is associated with tetrahydro‐7‐biopterin in primary murine mast cells [PDF]
Murine bone marrow‐derived mast cells proliferate in response to interleukin 3. In addition to 6‐biopterin, 7‐biopterin was identified in these cells by HPLC analysis of iodine oxidized extracts and by alkaline permanganate oxidation to the 6‐ and 7‐carboxylic acids. 7‐Biopterin comprised 31.9 (± 7.7)% of the total biopterin.

Incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipids has been investigated using samples of rat liver tissue homogenate (Krebs-Ringer-phosphate buffer, pH=7.4, containing 0.3% albumin, fatty acid mixture and glycerol). The addition of 7,8-dihydroneopterin and

The effect of an oral load of phenylalanine (100 mg/kg body weight) on the levels of neopterin and biopterin in urine has been determined in 8 heterozygotes for classical phenylketonuria and 25 supposed normal controls. In basal conditions, neopterin and

Studies on the regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in endothelial dysfunction [PDF]
Ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The underlying progression of the disease is linked to a reduction in the bioavailability of nitric oxide. One factor contributing to this

A pteridine glycoside in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, the structure of which had been tentatively identified as biopterin-glucoside, was isolated and characterized for its exact chemical structure by 2D-NMR spectroscopy. The determined structure is 1-0-(L-

Neopterin and Cytokines in Hereditary Dystonia and Parkinson's Disease
Both neopterin and biopterin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with Parkinson's disease, in which the nigrostriatal dopamine neurons degenerate, were lower than those from age-matched older control subjects.

Biopterin in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin is an essential co-factor in the natural synthesis of dopamine. Oral tetrahydrobiopterin was given in small doses to four patients with early Parkinson's disease but had no discernible effect.
