摘要: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for both phenylalanine hydroxylase and nitric oxide synthase. Patients with severe malaria have low urinary BH4, elevated plasma phenylalanine, impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation, suggesting that BH4 depletion may limit metabolism synthesis. We infected C57BL/6 mice Plasmodium berghei ANKA to characterize availability investigate the effects of supplementation. P. infection lowered in plasma, erythrocytes, brain tissue but raised it aorta liver tissue. The ratio 7,8-BH2 (the major product oxidation) was decreased tissue, oxidation contributes depletion. continuous infusion sepiapterin (a precursor) citrulline (an arginine concentrations blood compartments. restoration systemic ...
