Neopterin, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress: What Could We Be Missing?
Antioxidants, 2018 Neopterin has been extensively used as a clinical marker of immune activation during inflammation in a wide range of conditions and stresses. However, the analysis of neopterin alone neglects the cellular reactions that generate it in response to ...

Urinary Neopterin in Malignant Lymphoma
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1991 Urinary neopterin levels were studied in 96 patients with malignant lymphomas. Twenty-eight had Hodgkin's disease and 68 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Neopterin excretion was significantly related to the clinical stage of the disease.

Neopterin measurement in clinical diagnosis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 2001 Neopterin is a marker associated with cell-mediated immunity. It is produced in monocytes/macrophages primarily upon stimulation with interferon-gamma. Due to its chemical structure, neopterin belongs to the class of pteridines. It is excreted in an unchanged form via the kidneys. Serum levels above 10 nmol/L are regarded as elevated.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Knee and hip arthroplasty are common surgeries within an aging population. Some data has suggested that knee arthroplasty is more traumatic to the body than hip arthroplasty due to the increased complexity and load bearing nature of the joint.

Cerebrospinal fluid neopterin analysis in neuropediatric patients: establishment of a new cut off-value for the identification of inflammatory-immune mediated processes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 ObjectiveA high level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neopterin is a marker of central nervous system inflammatory-immune mediated processes. We aimed to assess data from 606 neuropediatric patients, describing the clinical and biochemical features of those

Neopterin as an endogenous antioxidant [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1992 The in vitro potency of neopterin (NP) as an antioxidant and its in vivo activity to suppress alloxan‐induced diabetes were investigated. The reduced form of neopterin, 5,6,7,8‐tetrahydroneopterin (NPH‐4), showed an extremely high superoxide anion radical scavenging activity in two assay systems, i.e.

Urinary neopterin concentrations vs total neopterins for clinical utility. [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1989 Abstract Neopterin measurements are especially useful as an early marker in (e.g.) allograft rejections and in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). An increased concentration of total neopterins (neopterin + dihydroneopterin) is also a significant marker in patients with HIV-1 infection.

Serum Neopterin in Patients with Malignant Melanoma
Pteridines, 2009 Increased serum or urinary concentrations of neopterin have been described in patients with tumors of different primary locations, but reports on neopterin in patients with melanoma are scanty. We have studied serum neopterin and a melanoma marker, S-100-

Urinary Neopterin in Patients with upper Gastrointestinal, Biliary and Pancreatic Carcinomas
Pteridines, 2006 Increased urinary neopterin has been associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis in patients with colorectal carcinoma, but less is known about urinary neopterin in other gastrointestinal tumors.
