[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

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

Biopterin is a cofactor of neurotransmitters

"L-methylfolate affects the synthesis of neurotransmitters by regulating levels of the cofactor biopterin. Biopterin is required by tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase in the synthesis of monoamines such as dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE)."

[J] [Parkinson's: Biomarkers] Parkinson's patients had lower biopterin and neopterin. Cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-2 , IL-6, EGF, TGF-α, TGF-β1) were found to be increased in the striatum and/or in cerebrospinal fluid.
