Effect of 6R-Tetrahydrobiopterin on the Central Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor as Evaluated by Positron Emission Tomography Studies Using Rhesus Monkey
Our recent microdialysis studies demonstrated the effect of 6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (R-THBP) on the acethylcholinergic system as well as dopaminergic, serotonergic, and glutamatergic systems i...

Positron Emission Tomography Studies on Some Neurotransmitter Receptor Systems with 6R-Tetrahydrobiopterin Pretreatment
Our recent microdialysis studies demonstrated the effect of 6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6R-BH4, R-THBP) on the promotion of release of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline1,2. In addition to this ...
