Helicobacter pylori infection and neopterin
In order to find out whether chronic immune stimulation is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection we studied 425 healthy individuals (aged 57.6 ± 9.22 years, s.d.) who were performing a health check up without having any specific health problems ...

Neopterin as an endogenous antioxidant [PDF]
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.

Medicinal Plants and Lead Phytomolecules as Immunomodulators: An Updated Review
All therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating the immune response to pathogens, self‐antigens, carcinogens, or xenogeneic antigens are referred to as immunomodulation, which either prevents hyperactivation or restores the appropriate response of the immune system.

Evaluation of Antidepressant Effects of Zhuyeqing Liquor Using C. elegans as a Model
C. elegans model was used to investigate the antidepressant effects and mechanism of ZYQL. Ten biomarkers related to depression were screened and validated in fluoxetine‐treated groups. This research is useful for formulating antidepressant beverages from ZYQL. ABSTRACT Depression is a common psychiatric disorder in contemporary society, which severely

Neopterin Concentrations in Colon Dialysate
Increased production of neopterin in humans is indicative for an activated cellular immune response. The intestinal immune system encounters an enormous amount of infectious agents or injurious substances evoking a cellular immune response. The objective

Neopterin as Tumour Marker Serum and Urinary Neopterin Concentrations in Malignant Diseases [PDF]
Serum and urinary neopterin concentrations were measured in 142 patients suffering from various malignant diseases. Increased serum and urinary neopterin levels were found in 48% and 55% of patients respectively. Neopterin showed sufficient sensitivity in the detection of haematological disorders and hypernephroma, whereas the sensitivity of neopterin ...

Association Between Neopterin Production and other Parameters in a Population of Blood Donors
Neopterin is released from human monocyte-derived macrophages preferentially upon stimulation with the Thlcell cytokine interferon-γ. In humans, increased concentrations of neopterin in serum and urine have been found in viral infections including human ...
