Neopterin, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress: What Could We Be Missing? [PDF]
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 ...

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

Urinary neopterin and total neopterin measurements allow monitoring of oxidative stress and inflammation levels of knee and hip arthroplasty patients. [PDF]
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.

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 concentrations during radiotherapy for gynecological cancer
Pteridines, 2014 Neopterin is a biomarker of host response to neoplasia. In the present study, urinary neopterin was determined during the course of (chemo)radiation in ten patients with gynecological tumors (nine patients with cervical carcinoma and one patient with ...
