Phenylketonuria (PKU; also known as phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency) is an autosomal recessive disorder of phenylalanine metabolism, in which especially high phenylalanine concentrations cause brain dysfunction. If untreated, this brain dysfunction results in severe intellectual disability, epilepsy and behavioural problems.

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

Increased Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Phenylketonuria. [PDF]
In phenylketonuria (PKU), elevated phenylalanine (Phe) increases hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and thyroid hormones, enhancing brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in patients. Central FGF21 reproduces this phenotype in rodents via reduced hypothalamic AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity in the ventromedial nucleus of the ...

Metabolomics of dietary fatty acid restriction in patients with phenylketonuria [PDF]
Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have to follow a lifelong phenylalanine restricted diet. This type of diet markedly reduces the intake of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).
