  • We demonstrate that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate binds the active site of nitric oxide synthase and mimics the orientation of tetrahydrobiopterin
  • 5-methyltetrahydrofolate attenuates superoxide production (induced by inhibition of tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis) and improves endothelial function
  • e suggest that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate directly interacts with nitric oxide synthase to promote nitric oxide (vs. superoxide) production and improve endothelial function

  • 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate may represent an important strategy for intervention aimed at improving tetrahydrobiopterin bioavailability.
  •  
    5-methyltetrahydrofolate promotes NO synthase and improves endothelial vascular function;  proposed as way to increase tetrahydropbiopterin

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Rapidly Improves Endothelial Function and Decreases Superoxide... - 0 views

  •  
    5-MTHF increases BH4 which increases eNOS activity and NO production providing improved endothelial function and thereby providing a mechanism to reduce atherosclerosis.  Interesting that the MTHFR A1298C decreases BH4 in contrast to the 677T.

    SAMe replacement, 400 mg, did not raise homocysteine.  But, it did increase 5-MTHF.
