Impaired Systemic Tetrahydrobiopterin Bioavailability and Increased Dihydrobiopterin in Adult Falciparum Malaria: Association with Disease Severity, Impaired Microvascular Function and Increased Endothelial Activation

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is a co-factor required for catalytic activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and amino acid-monooxygenases, including phenylalanine hydroxylase. BH(4) is unstable: during oxidative stress it is non-enzymatically oxidized to dihydrobiopterin (BH(2)), which inhibits NOS. D...
