Comparison between plasma neopterin and the urine neopterin : creatinine ratio as inflammatory biomarkers [PDF]
, 2019 : Background: Neopterin, a product of cell-mediated immunity, is a non-specific biomarker of inflammation. Plasma/serum is generally the body fluid of choice for neopterin assessment, but urine is often used as it does away with venepuncture. Analysis of

Neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin are generated within atherosclerotic plaques
Pteridines, 2015 Plasma neopterin correlates with the level of cardiovascular disease. Neopterin is the oxidation product of 7,8-dihydroneopterin, which is released by γ-interferon-stimulated macrophages. 7,8-Dihydroneopterin is a potent antioxidant, which inhibits lipid

Effect of Neopterin on the Hematopoietic System
Pteridines, 2009 Neopterin is produced by monocytes and is a useful biomarker for inflammation. We recently found that neopterin is biologically active against hematopoiesis during inflammatory processes.

Neopterin Concentrations in Colon Dialysate
Pteridines, 2001 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
