Phenylketonuria: modelling cerebral amino acid and neurotransmitter metabolism
2024-01-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder characterised by deficient hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase activity, leading to elevated phenylalanine levels. Despite adherence to a phenylalanine-restricted diet, many adult PKU patients continue to experience executive function deficits, likely linked to high cerebral phenylalanine concentrations and deficiencies in monoaminergic neurotransmitt...
