Inflammation, the neopterin--tetrahydrobiopterin pathway, and nitric oxide levels in children and adolescents with obsessive--compulsive disorder

2020-11-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Approximately 80% of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) cases begin in childhood. Various genetic, psychological, sociological factors and biological mechanisms are involved in the etiology of OCD. To the best of our knowledge the relationship between inflammation and OCD is unclear. Chronic inflammation was shown to increase neopterin and decrease tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels by activat...
