Endothelium-targeted transgenic GTP-cyclohydrolase I overexpression inhibits neointima formation in mouse carotid artery.

1. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is an essential cofactor that maintains the normal function of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Restenosis is a key complication after transluminal angioplasty. Guanosine 5'-triphosphate-cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) is the first rate-limiting enzyme for de novo...
