Tetrahydrobiopterin and inherited hyperphenylalaninemias
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1996 Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency, a variant of hyperphenylalaninemia, may be caused by deficiency of one of the following enzymes: guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1,6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase, dihydropteridin reductase and pterin-4a ...

Uncoupled nitric oxide synthase activity promotes colorectal cancer progression
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Increased levels of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are one hallmark of chronic inflammation contributing to the activation of pro-inflammatory/proliferative pathways. In the cancers analyzed, the tetrahydrobiopterin:dihydrobiopterin ratio is lower than

Hypertension, 2011 See related article, pp 287–294 Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an essential cofactor for diverse cellular processes, is present in almost every cell or tissue of higher organisms. BH4 has well-defined functions in terms of enzymatic activities (BH4 is a crucial cofactor for the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases and all isoforms of nitric oxide synthase ...

Tetrahydrobiopterin and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2006 Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4 ) is an essential cofactor for the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases, which are essential in the formation of neurotransmitters, and for nitric oxide synthase. It is presently used clinically to treat some forms of phenylketonuria (PKU) that can be ameliorated by BH 4

Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...

Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency in schizophrenia as a new target for personalized medicine
Обозрение психиатрии и медицинской психологии имени В.М. Бехтерева, 2020 Summary. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an important cofactor, that involved in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, as well as affecting the production of nitric oxide (NO) and regulating the activity of the glutamatergic system.

Pretreatment cognitive and neural differences between sapropterin dihydrochloride responders and non-responders with phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2017 Sapropterin dihydrochloride (BH4) reduces phenylalanine (Phe) levels and improves white matter integrity in a subset of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) known as “responders.” Although prior research has identified biochemical and genotypic ...
