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

Frontiers 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.

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.

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 ‐

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 ...

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 ...

Late-stage systemic immune effectors in Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection: biopterin and oxidative stress

Pteridines, 2015
To investigate the involvement of systemic oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of murine cerebral malaria, mice were infected with the Plasmodium berghei (P. berghei) ANKA 6653 strain.

Tetrahydrobiopterin Synthesis in Rat Cardiac Myocytes; An Event Required for Cytokine-induced NO Generation

Pteridines, 1998
Cardiac myocytes are known to express the high-capacity inducible isoform of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS). Since tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for NO formation, we investigated whether BH4 synthesis is required for cytokine ...

Oxidative Stress and Pteridines in Pediatric Asthma: Relationship to Exhaled Nitric Oxide

Pteridines, 2012
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a useful marker of airway inflammation in asthmatics. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) requires tetrahydrobiopterin as a cofactor and produces superoxide during NO generation.
