Successful Management of Two Consecutive Pregnancies With Maternal-Fetal Phenylketonuria: Lessons From Clinical Practice. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), leading to the accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) and an increased risk of developmental disorders. Treatment involves a Phe‐restricted diet, amino acid supplements, and for a subset of patients, a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4 ...

Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty
