Microvascular Health as a Key Determinant of Organismal Aging
Abstract Aging is a complex, multifaceted process affecting all organ systems, with vascular aging playing a central role in organismal health decline. Beyond its role in circulation, the vascular system acts as a dynamic interface between tissues, influencing countless physiological functions such as tissue regeneration and repair, immune responses ...

Three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes
Current knowledge distinguishes three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes as based on protein sequence similarity. These three protein sequence clusters hydroxylate three types of substrate atoms and use three different forms of iron for ...

Abstract Objective Understanding the role of plasma proteins in the pathophysiology of epilepsy is crucial for uncovering novel biological mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Mendelian randomization (MR) provides a valuable tool for dissecting potentially causal associations between circulating proteins and disease risk.

Early Diagnosis of 6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin Synthase Deficiency
6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) deficiency, which used to be called dihydrobiopterin synthase deficiency, is the most common kind of tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Early treatment by administration of tetrahydrobiopterin and neurotransmitter

Linoleic acid-induced endothelial activation
Hypertriglyceridemia, an important risk factor of atherosclerosis, is associated with increased circulating free fatty acids. Research to date indicates that linoleic acid (LA), the major fatty acid in the American diet, may be atherogenic by activating ...

Challenges in the management of Phenylketonuria in Malta [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder comprising a number of different enzyme deficiencies. In Malta, dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) deficiency appears to be more common than phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (classical PKU), and is ...

The natural cofactor of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), regulates the enzyme activity as well as being essential in catalysis. BH4‐responsive PAH deficiency is a variant of hyperphenylalaninemia or phenylketonuria (PKU) caused by mutations in the human PAH gene that respond to oral BH4 loading by stimulating enzyme activity ...

Saturated fatty acids (SFA) primarily caused greater physical obesity, whereas Trans‐fatty (TFA) led to more pronounced metabolic damage. Both SFA and TFA diets induced obesity and anxiety‐like behaviors. 7‐Nitroindole (7‐NI) improved anxiety‐like behaviors in SFA‐fed mice but not in TFA‐fed.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether 17β-estradiol stimulates the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin : BH4), which is one of the cofactors of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells. Addition of 17()-estradiol
