abstract：:GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a cofactor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). As the induction of NO synthesis by immunostimulants in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells requires de novo synthesis of BH4, we investigated whether immunostimu...
