Effect of maternal phenylalanine deficiency on the growth of their offsprings [rats].
1981
Song K.H. | Choi H.M.
Low phenylalanine diet (0.05%) was given to pregnant rats at the 14 days of gestation and continued until the pups were lactated for 11 days. Body weight, plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine, brain weight and phenylalanine, tyrosin were determined. Body weight of pups on normal diet (0.36% phenylalanine) gained rapidly while the pups on the phenylalanine deficient diet decreased and did not survive during the period of 11 days. Brain weight of the pups on the phenylalanine deficient diet was significantly lower (P 0.05) than the normal pups.
