We studied the effects of L-phenylalanine and alpha-methylphenylalanine on 32P in vitro incorporation into cytoskeletal proteins from cerebral cortex of 17-day-old rats. Slices of cerebral cortex were incubated in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of L-phenylalanine, alpha-methylphenylalanine or

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder in which the hydroxylation of phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine is severely disrupted. If PKU is left untreated, severe mental retardation results. The accepted treatment is to restrict dietary intake of Phe. It has generally

Enantiomeric separation of two aromatic alpha-substituted alanine esters was achieved on two commercially available polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs): amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC) and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC). The interactions between enantiomeric analytes and the CSPs were investigated using chromatographic methods and

Experimental phenylketonuria was induced in male rats by daily injections of alpha-methylphenylalanine and phenylalanine on postnatal Days 3-31. Beginning at 8 weeks of age, the animals were subjected to a test of observational learning followed by a test of latent
