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 neg

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is required for NO synthesis and inhibition of superoxide release from endothelial NO synthase. Clinical trials using BH4 to treat endothelial dysfunction have produced mixed results. Poor outcomes may be explained by the ra

Primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection promotes oxidative stress and reduces nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in endothelial cells. These events are among the earliest vascular responses to cardiovascular risk factors. We assessed the roles of NAD(

Cerebral palsy and death are serious consequences of perinatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Important concepts can now be tested using an animal model of cerebral palsy. We have previously shown that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are produced in ant

Objective: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency is one of the causes of dystonia at birth. We hypothesized that BH4 is a developmental factor determining vulnerability of the immature fetal brain to hypoxic-ischemic injury and subsequent motor defici

Adult rat cardiac myocytes typically display a phenotypic response to cytokines manifested by low or no increases in nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) that distinguishes them from other cell types. To better characterize t

There is evidence that nitric oxide (NO) formation in adult cardiomyocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is not commensurate with iNOS levels. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is a key factor in the stabilization and NO production by iNOS homod

Alterations in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels have significant consequences in vascular pathophysiology. However, the mechanisms regulating BH4 remain poorly understood. The activity of GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH-I), the first enzyme in BH4 biosyn

Objective— Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4 ) is of fundamental importance for the normal function of endothelial NO synthase. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hyperlipidemia on vascular BH 4 levels and the effect of supplementa

Augmentation of superoxide levels has been linked to impaired relaxation in hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia. Purified endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) generates superoxide under limited availability of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopt
