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
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
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 ...

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

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
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 ...

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.
