[WIKI] Pineal: Biopterin

[J] [NEUROTRANSMITTERS] Pineal gland synthesizes biopterin, a rare coenzyme. Biopterin is a cofactor of dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin and melatonin. Magnetic fields and blue light cause biopterin deficiency. Biopterin deficiency can cause depression, circadian rhythm disorder & parkinson`s

[PINEAL: BIOPTERIN] EMF, peroxynitrite and glucose metabolism decrease tetrahydro-L-biopterin (BH4). Low BH4 elevates superoxide producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and further depleting BH4. NRF2 activators elevate BH4. By Jack Kruse, MD
