Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]
Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH4 it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BR, would be able to ...

Toward eradication of B-vitamin deficiencies : considerations for crop biofortification [PDF]
'Hidden hunger' involves insufficient intake of micronutrients and is estimated to affect over two billion people on a global scale. Malnutrition of vitamins and minerals is known to cause an alarming number of casualties, even in the developed world ...

Abstract Background Cerebral malaria (CM) pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Having shown low systemic levels of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an enzymatic cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis, we hypothesized that BH4 and BH4-dependent neurotransmitters would likewise be low in ...

Abstract Qualitative and quantitative analyses for pterins (derivatives of 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine) in human urine were carried out by an improved procedure which involved the use of two new weak ion exchangers, ECTEOLA-Sephadex and phospho-Sephadex.

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching [PDF]
Significance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an ...

Studies on the relation between heme and nucleic acid syntheses in erythroid cell. II. Nucleic acid synthesis in erythroblast of anemic rat treated with aminopterin and bromouracil [PDF]
With the bone marrow of anemic rats, which had received the repeated injections of phenylhydrazine once a day for three to four days, the effects of aminopterin and bromouracil on the nucleic acid metabolism of erythroblasts were observed in vivo ...

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the bacterial pterin deaminase. In the standard assay, the mixture contains 0.05 ml of pterin carboxylic acid, 0.8 ml of phosphate buffer, and 0.02 to 0.15 ml of enzyme in a final volume of 1.0 ml. Incubation is carried out at 23° in a 1-ml Beckman quartz cuvette with a light path of 1.00 cm. Reaction is begun
