Improvement of neuropsychological performances and reduction of immune-activation markers after probiotic supplementation and change of life-style in an HIV positive male: targeting the microbiota to act on gut-brain axis [PDF]
The gut-brain axis is widely in uenced by the intestinal microbiota and dysbiosis is consequently associated with a large dysregulation of its functions. Probiotic supplementation, reducing the harmful effects of dysbiosis, has shown positive effects not

Ulcerative Colitis and Neopterin: Related?
INTRODUCTION[|]Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that invades the colon mucosa and progresses with remissions and exacerbations. Neopterin is a biochemical marker of cell-mediated immunity. Studies have demonstrated increased levels of neopterin in inflammatory bowel diseases.

Neopterin Concentrations in Colon Dialysate
Abstract 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 of this pilot study was to measure neopterin levels in colon dialysates of

Increasing Tetrahydrobiopterin in Cardiomyocytes Adversely Affects Cardiac Redox State and Mitochondrial Function Independently of Changes in NO Production [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) represents a potential strategy for the treatment of cardiac remodeling, fibrosis and/or diastolic dysfunction. The effects of oral treatment with BH4 (Sapropterin™ or Kuvan™) are however dose-limiting with high dose negating ...

Elevated neopterin levels in non-allergic asthma [PDF]
Neopterin is synthesized by human monocyte-derived macrophages upon stimulation with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Measurement of neopterin concentration is useful to monitor cell-mediated (Th1-type) immune activation.
