Abstract excerpt
Local rates of cerebral protein synthesis (lCPS(leu)) were measured with the quantitative autoradiographic [1-(14)C]leucine method in a genetic mouse model (Pah(enu2)) of phenylketonuria. As in the human disease, Pah(enu2) mice have a mutation in the gene for phenylalanine hydroxylase. We compared adult homozygous (HMZ) and heterozygous (HTZ) Pah(enu2) mice with the background strain (BTBR). Arterial plasma...
