Age-Dependent Variation in Blood Biopterin Peaks Following Oral Tetrahydrobiopterin Administration in Phenylketonuria. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The correct diagnosis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4, sapropterin dihydrochloride)‐responsive phenylketonuria (PKU) and treatment with BH4 are important for prognosis and quality of life. We examined whether age affects biopterin bioavailability following oral BH4 administration in PKU and whether this influences BH4 responsiveness.

Mapping an atlas of tissue-specific drosophila melanogaster metabolomes by high resolution mass spectrometry [PDF]
Metabolomics can provide exciting insights into organismal function, but most work on simple models has focussed on the whole organism metabolome, so missing the contributions of individual tissues.

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

Insulin Reverses D-Glucose–Increased Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species Generation in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Vascular tone is controlled by the L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and NO bioavailability is strongly affected by hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress.

Plasmodium Infection Is Associated with Impaired Hepatic Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase Activity and Disruption of Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor/Substrate Homeostasis. [PDF]
Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) signaling may contribute to pathological activation of the vascular endothelium during severe malaria infection. Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) regulates endothelial NO synthesis by maintaining homeostasis ...

Biopterin responsive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
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.
