Urinary Biopterin Levels and Blood Dihydropteridine Reductase Activities in Patients with Thyroid and Breast Disorders

open access: yesPteridines, 2010
Biopterin as a stable metabolite is produced by oxidation of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). It is known that many diseases may cause changes in BH4 concentration and/or dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) enzyme activity. There is only a limited number

Evaluation of dihydropteridine reductase activities in patients with kidney failure

open access: yesPteridines, 2013
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the inability of the kidneys to remove waste products from the blood. The most important factors causing ESRD that require hemodialysis are diabetes and hypertension.

Liver‐ and Immune‐Enriched Molecular Signatures Associated With Mortality in Older Adults

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
Untargeted plasma proteomics and metabolomics identified molecular signatures associated with all‐cause mortality in older adults. A liver‐enriched proteomic profile was associated with mortality risk in the ILAS cohort and showed consistent associations in an independent validation cohort, supporting circulating proteomic profiles for mortality risk ...

Pteridine determination in human serum with special emphasis on HPLC methods with fluorimetric detection

open access: yesPteridines, 2017
Conjugated and unconjugated pteridines and their derivatives are important cofactors in cellular metabolism. Hence, the amount of unconjugated pteridines in biological fluids has been found to be modified as a result of several disorders. It is necessary

5‐Hydroxytryptamine Distribution Alteration in Both Neuron and Synapse of Tg(SOD1*G93A)1gur Mice: A Potential Intervention Candidate Strategy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study reveals that 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) synapses in the spinal cord and 5‐HT neurons in the brainstem of the SOD1‐G93A amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse model are significantly altered, showing a decrease in pre‐symptomatic stages but a marked increase as the disease progresses.

Control of Melanogenesis In the Human Epidermis by the Redox-Status of Tetrahydrobiopterins

open access: yesPteridines, 1995
Activity of tyrosinase directly controls melanogenesis in the human epidermis. Recently, it has been shown that the biosynthesis and recycling of (6R)L-erythro 5,6,7,8 tetrahydrobiopterin (6-BH4) plays a central role in regulating the supply of L ...

Metabolomic and lipidomic signatures of Helicobacter pylori infection: Unveiling biochemical pathways associated with neurodegeneration

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Our study employed an integrated lipidomics and metabolomics approach to elucidate Helicobacter pylori‐driven metabolic perturbations along the gut–brain axis. H. pylori infection was established in gastric epithelial (AGS) cells, and the resulting conditioned media (secretome) was collected and exposed to neuronal (IMR‐32) cells.

Development of a cyclodextrin-electrokinetic chromatography methodology for the separation of biopterin enantiomers

open access: yesJournal of Chromatography Open
This work presents the development of an analytical methodology based on the use of cyclodextrin-electrokinetic chromatography to achieve the enantiomeric separation of biopterin, a biologically relevant molecule that plays a significant role as a ...

The value of simultaneous determination of blood large neutral amino acids and tetrahydrobiopterin metabolites in the diagnosis of atypical hyperphenylalaninemia

open access: yesEgyptian Liver Journal
Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency in newborns with atypical hyperphenylalaninemia requires rapid and accurate diagnosis and the ability to distinguish it from the classical type to prevent early irreversible neurological damage.

The kynurenine and serotonin pathway, neopterin and biopterin in depressed children and adolescents: an impact of omega-3 fatty acids, and association with markers related to depressive disorder. A randomized, blinded, prospective study

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry
Depressive disorder is a severe mental condition. In addition to genetic factors, immunological-inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and disturbances in neurotransmitter metabolism, kynurenine and serotonin pathways may play a role.
