Researchers at the University of Texas and Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new factor in regulating phenylalanine metabolism and trying to prevent the inherited metabolic disorder. Furthermore, to a Phe-restricted diet and BH4, another potential treatment for PKU is large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) which decrease the brain Phe concentration.
