In our patient group, we found a significant shift toward the more compliant N2BA titin isoform versus nonfailing donor heart samples ( Figure 2) . This GCH1-GFRP complex is operative in humans because oral challenge with L-phe leads to a 3-fold rise in plasma biopterin levels (a correlate of BH 4 )-an effect that is attenuated in patients with a loss-of-function GCH1 mutation (23 To support this hypothesis, it is known the GCH1-GFRP axis regulates BH 4 and NO in endothelial cells (25) . Some studies report that elevations in circulating biomarkers of oxidative stress (myeloperoxidase) precede clinically significant systolic dysfunction in anthracycline-treated patients (8, 15 CT images were used to localize the heart and confirm the epicardial surfaces for VOI edge placement. ./cache/cord-007563-33jxxp1b.txt ./txt/cord-007563-33jxxp1b.txt
