Reactive oxygen species mediate endothelium-dependent relaxations in tetrahydrobiopterin-deficient mice.
(6R)-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-biopterin (H(4)B) is essential for the catalytic activity of all NO synthases. The hyperphenylalaninemic mouse mutant (hph-1) displays 90% deficiency of the GTP cyclohydrolase I, the rate-limiting enzyme in H(4)B synthesis. A relative shortage of H(4)B may shift the balance b...
