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 ...

Mitochondrial fission‐fusion imbalance contributes to age‐related cardio‐cerebral diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Cerebral Infarction, Arteriosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac valve disease, Hypertension, and Cardiomyopathy. This review summarizes its regulatory mechanisms and interventions.

Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiencies in the Maltese population [PDF]
A higher than usual frequency of hyperphenylalaninaemia due to tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies, specifically Dihydropteridine Reductase (DHPR) deficiency, is present in the Maltese population.

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

Tetrahydrobiopterin in phenylketonuria: Who can benefit? [PDF]
Phenylketonuria, abbreviated PKU, is a rare inherited metabolic disease. In this disease, a building block of protein (an amino acid) called phenylalanine cannot be converted to tyrosine. This results in high phenylalanine concentrations in blood and brain. If left untreated, this especially results in severe developmental delay as well as epilepsy and

Coinfections Dampen the Effects of Temperature on Host–Parasite Interactions
Temperature can drive large shifts in host–parasite interactions, but these shifts need not correspond to strong effects on coinfecting parasite interactions. Coinfection may provide a stabilizing effect on disease in a warming world—but this effect can falter when hosts are faced with multiple stressors.

Catalytic residues and a predicted structure of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent alkylglycerol mono-oxygenase [PDF]
Alkylglycerol mono-oxygenase (EC 1.14.16.5) forms a third, distinct, class among tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes in addition to aromatic amino acid hydroxylases and nitric oxide synthases.

Glucocorticoids Inhibit Tetrahydrobiopterin-Dependent Endothelial Function
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) acts as an important co-factor for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Glucocorticoids have been shown to inhibit expression of the rate-limiting enzyme for tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis, GTP cyclohydrolase, in other cell
