Augmentation of Anaerobic Pentose Phosphate Pathway Dysregulates Tetrahydrobiopterin Metabolism in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Patients with Orthostatic Intolerance: A Pilot Study

2023-12-11

Abstract excerpt

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an essential cofactor of amino acid metabolism, was found to be strongly elevated in ME/CFS patients with Orthostatic intolerance (ME + OI). However, the molecular mechanism of BH4 upregulation is poorly understood in ME + OI patients. Here, we report that the activation of the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays a critical role in the biosynthesis of BH4 in ME + OI patie...
