Intestinal Uptake of 6(R)-L-erythro-Tetrahydrobiopterin is Distinct from the Liver-Type MTX-Sensitive Accumulation Process
In order to increase the tissue level of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4 ) , supplementation with 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (6RBH4) has been widely employed. In this work, the profile of BH4 accumulation was compared between the liver and the small intestine after feeding with 10mg/kg of 6RBH4 or 7,8-dihydrob...
