5,6,7,8-tetrahydroneopterin (NH4) Acts like an Endogenous Superoxide Dismutase

The protective effect of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroneopterin (NH.) against radiation injury in mice was studied. (C57BL/6x A/J)F1 mice received whole body irradiation with a single fatal dose of 8.0 Gy X-ray. NH4 was injected intraperitoneally into irradiated mice at various protocols. NH. was significantly...
