Tetrahydrobiopterin supplementation reduces atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.

BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) supplementation improves endothelial function in models of vascular disease by maintaining eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) coupling and NO (nitric oxide) bioavailability. However, the cellular mechanisms through which enhanced endothelial function leads to reduced...
