Cerebral and adrenal monoamine metabolism in the growth-retarded rat fetus under normoxia and hypoxia.

abstract：:Both severe impairments of brain development in untreated infants and acute reversible neurotoxic effects on brain function are clinical features of phenylketonuria (PKU). For determining whether impairments of cerebral energy metabolism play a role in the pathophysiology of PKU, quantitative in vivo 31P magnetic reso...
