Urinary Neopterin in Patients with Ovarian Cancer

open access: yesPteridines, 2006
Urinary neopterin, an indicator of systemic immune activation, is increased in most patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) and is an independent prognostic indicator.

Serum Neopterin Levels in Lung and Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy And/Or Chemotherapy

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 1988
The elevated neopterin levels observed in numerous haemotological diseases and parenchymatous malignomas suggested neopter in might be useful as a tumor marker.

Salivary neopterin concentrations in patients with cancer of the oral cavity

open access: yesPteridines, 2016
Tumors of the oral cavity are relatively common malignancies with a poor prognosis. Use of both prognostic and predictive biomarkers in saliva represents one approach to improve the management of patients with these cancers.

Clinical Value of Neopterin In Infectious Complications

open access: yesPteridines, 1999
Neopterin, a pteridine intermediate metabolite in the biopterine synthetic pathway, is synthesized and secreted by monocyte/macrophages upon stimulation, mainly by gamma-interferon by activated T cells.

Clinical importance of serum neopterin level in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2014
Objective: Neopterin is a sensitive marker for cell-mediated immune response. Because of this, the neopterin levels of body fluids show cell-mediated immune response in different infectious diseases which involve T cells and macrophages.

The physiological and mononuclear cell activation response to cryotherapy following a mixed martial arts contest: a pilot study

open access: yesPteridines, 2015
Cold water immersion is thought to reduce the inflammatory response to injury. Using cultured mononuclear cells and human subjects in a mixed martial arts (MMA) contest, we examined the effect of cryotherapy on 7,8-dihydroneopterin and neopterin ...

Follow-up of Urinary Neopterin Concentrations in two Healthy Children until Adolescence

open access: yesPteridines, 2003
Neopterin is a sensitive marker of the activated cellular (= Thl-type) immune response. Neopterin concentrations in healthy children are higher compared with those of adults and are declining with increasing age.

The role of neopterin in cross-talk between tumor and tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesPteridines
Neopterin is a marker of activated immune response, but its role in hepatocarcinogenesis is unknown. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of neopterin on prooncogenic/proinflammatory, apoptotic pathways, and other molecular mechanisms in HCC ...

Urinary Neopterin in Patients with Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 2006
In previous studies, mostly in patients with early stage colorectal carcinoma, neopterin, an indicator of systemic immune activation, has been associated with poor prognosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate urinary neopterin in patients with

Neopterin and Its Clinical Significance In Autoimmune Diseases: a Minireview

open access: yesPteridines, 1993
Neopterin, a biochemical marker for the activation of cellular immune responses, is produced in large amounts specifically from macrophages upon stimulation with interferon-gamma (IFN-a).
