A model of complex plaque formation: 7,8-Dihydroneopterin protects human monocyte-derived macrophages from oxidised low density lipoprotein-induced death
Plasma neopterin is an excellent marker of inflammation and is found in elevated levels in plasma of patients with cardiovascular disease. Neopterin originates as the oxidation product of 7,8-dihydroneopterin (7,8-NP), which is secreted by human macrophages when stimulated with interferon-y during i...
