Abstract | OBJECTIVES: DESIGN AND METHODS: RESULTS: Total neopterin was detected between 50 nM and 1.2 microM, with an average concentration of 0.51 microM. Significant quantities of oxidized proteins and lipids were detected. alpha-Tocopherol concentrations positively correlate with total neopterin levels. CONCLUSIONS:
