Novel diagnostic test for acute stroke.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Tetrahydrobiopterin (THBP) is an essential cofactor for nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which is responsible for the synthesis of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) responsible for mediating the vasorelaxation produced by acetylcholine (ACh). Previous publications suggest that EDRFACh is...
