Amino Acid Transport and Mental Retardation

[摘要] Overlapping transport specificity may permit amino acid concentrations in brain to readjust to a new (lower) equilibrium in a compensatory response to increased concentrations of a "model" amino acid in serum. If this is true for analogous clinical situations, it may help explain the effects of phenylketonuria on mentation.
