Hyperphenylalaninaemia induced by daily injections of alpha-methylphenylalanine plus phenylalanine caused 20-40% decreases in cerebral dopamine (3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) and noradrenaline in 7- and 11-day-old rats. alpha-Methylphenylalanine alone as well as phenylalanine alone caused cerebral dopamine depletion. However, the effects were not additive

Biochemical pharmacology, 36(6), 965-970 (1987-03-15)
Severe hyperphenylalaninemia induced in infant rats by 3 days of treatment with p-chlorophenylalanine (p-cl phe) plus phenylalanine (phe) did not lower the tryptophan concentration of the brain, and the cerebral serotonin (5-HT) deficiency was attributable entirely to the known suppression

Wistar rats from the same litter were randomly divided into four groups and received subcutaneously from the 6th to 28th day post partum one of the following drugs: L-proline, methylmalonate, L-phenylalanine plus alpha-methylphenylalanine, or equivalent volumes of 0.9% (w/v) saline

Cyanobacterial pilin was extracted from Synechococcus 6301 membranes using a detergent mixture comprising 1% Triton X-100, 1% Thesit and 0.5% dodecyl beta-D-maltoside. Partial purification of pilin from the crude extract was achieved by a single-step purification applying the Rotofor isoelectric

Neurochemical research, 9(4), 517-528 (1984-04-01)
We studied DNA metabolism (synthesis and degradation) in brain to investigate the effect of hyperphenylalaninemia induced in rats by treatment with PCPA or alpha MPA plus PHE during suckling (4th-20th days of postnatal age) on cell proliferation and naturally occurring
