37 th International Winter-Workshop Clinical, Chemical and Biochemical Aspects of Pteridines and Related Topics

Abstract

The proceedings contain 48 papers. The topics discussed include: tolerability of inhaled N-chlorotaurine - a phase i clinical study; biomarkers of immune and inflammatory response and the response to therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with solid tumors; effects of social stress on tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism in laying hens; comparing plasma tryptophan measurements between labs using UPLC/HPLC approaches; pivotal role for endothelial cell GTP cyclohydrolase and tetrahydrobiopterin in cardiovascular adaptations to pregnancy; diverging gender differences in the associations between tooth loss, obesity and depression in the old order Amish; urinary neopterin: creatinine ratios are sensitive indicators of infection in preterm infants suspected of infection in the absence of a clear diagnostic parameter; and hepatic HFE and iron-driven modulation of Kupffer cell kinetics critically affect cholesterol homeostasis.
