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

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 ...

Comparison of IQ scores between children with phenylketonuria and healthy children referring to Besat Hospital in Sanandaj between 2017 and 2018 [PDF]
Background and Aim: Phenylketonuria is a genetic and congenital metabolic disorder with autosomal recessive transmission. In this disease phenylalanine is not converted to tyrosine due to lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme which results in ...

Pretreatment cognitive and neural differences between sapropterin dihydrochloride responders and non-responders with phenylketonuria [PDF]
Sapropterin dihydrochloride (BH4) reduces phenylalanine (Phe) levels and improves white matter integrity in a subset of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) known as “responders.” Although prior research has identified biochemical and genotypic ...
