YOUR CART Items Savings Total L-phenylalanine (See also DLPA What is L-phenylalanine? L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in proteins of every life form. The body cannot synthesize phenylalanine independently, so the amino acid must be obtained from foods containing animal or plant source proteins. L-phenylalanine helps the body build proteins and manufacture the amino acid L-tyrosine , among other important substances. Tyrosine is an important precursor in the production of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, low levels of which are linked to depression. It is important to note the disorder phenylketonuria (PKU), in which an individual lacks the enzyme necessary to metabolize phenylalanine . Infants are tested for PKU within 48-72 hours of birth. If not treated before three weeks of age, PKU can lead to severe mental retardation. Symptoms of PKU begin to appear at about 3-6 months of age, and include eczema, delayed development, a small head and hyperactivity. Individuals with PKU must restrict phenylalanine from their diet and supplement with tyrosine Health Benefits L-phenylalanine may help fight symptoms of depression through the synthesis of L- tyrosine Tyrosine is an important precursor in the production of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, low levels of which are linked to depression.

UNIVERSAL NEWBORN SCREENING Testing for Disorders at Birth by Fern R. Potvin N ewborn screeningtesting infants for certain genetic anomalies, inborn errors of metabolism, and other disordershas been commonplace since the 1960s but has rarely been a topic for public discourse. Within the last year or two, though, newborn screening has become of interest not only to healthcare professionals and scientific researchers, but to a far broader audience. Articles in such publications as the Philadelphia Enquirer, US News and World Report, and The New York Times have explored the subject of screening. The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , a publication of the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported on data from Georgia's screening program. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (part of the federal Health Resources and Services Administration) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have convened a task force on newborn screening to update the AAP's 1996 guidelines. The complete report is expected within the next few months. Many state legislatures are reexamining their current programs and debating expansion of testing requirements. The almost-complete Human Genome Project is expected to prompt still further discussion of issues surrounding testing for errors of metabolism and genetic disorders. In this three-part Special Report, we will explore newborn screening and its ramifications. We begin with an overview of newborn screening: history, the state of the art, and brief descriptions of the most commonly tested disorders in the United States today.
