Role of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) in determining ECFCs functionality in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Nitric oxide (NO . ) is critical for functionality of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs). Dimerization of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is must to produce NO . and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) plays a crucial role in stabilizing this state.

Biopterin responsive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]

Genetics in Medicine, 2004
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. There have been more than 400 mutations identified in the PAH gene leading to variable degrees of deficiency in PAH activity, and consequently a wide spectrum of clinical severity.

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Pteridine Pathway in Patients with Degenerative Diseases During Short Time Treatment with Low Dose of Meloxicam, as a Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug

Pteridines, 2008
The profiles of unconjugated pteridines such as neopterin and biopterin and of tryptophan metabolism change in many pathologic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, malignancies and autoimmune diseases and are related to the release of pro ...

Consensus Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyses the rate‐limiting step in dopamine biosynthesis. Autosomal recessive tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency (THD) leads to clinical phenotypes reflecting the deficiency of dopamine, norepinephrine, or epinephrine in the central nervous system (CNS), presenting along a continuous spectrum from mild to severe forms ...

Immune Stimulation of Interferon-Gamma- and Biopterin Synthesis with Endotoxin in Animal-Experimental Peritonitis

Pteridines, 1993
As a result to a microhial stimulus different defence systems are activated. Bacterial lipopolysaccharids (endotoxins) can lead to activation of the immune system in which phagocytic cells like macrophages.

Pterins as Sensors of Response to the Application of Fe3+-Dextran in Piglets

Sensors, 2010
The aim of the presented study was to assess the effect of a single administration of Fe3+-dextran on immune cell counts and pterin biomolecule production as novel sensors of the piglets' immune system activation, and to determine concentrations of ...

Neopterin as a Tool for Primate Ecoimmunology: Current Knowledge, Practical Application, and New Directions From Captivity to the Wild

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 10, October 2025.
Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

Degeneration of Rat Retina is Paralleled by an Imbalance of the Redox Mechanism of Pteridines

Pteridines, 1996
The RCS rat suffers from a genetic degeneration of retinal cell We have examined the pattern of oxidized and reduced monapterin and biopterin in retinas from RCS retinas and controls.

Dissecting the genomic regions, candidate genes and pathways using multi‐locus genome‐wide association study for stem rot disease resistance in groundnut

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Stem rot, caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., is a devastating soil‐borne disease causing up to 80% yield losses in groundnut globally. To dissect the genetic basis of resistance, we evaluated a diverse minicore germplasm panel over 3 years in stem rot sick‐field conditions.
