Gas—liquid chromatographic methods are described for measuring phenylalanine metabolites in urine and serum. These were studied in controls and in various types of hyperphenylalaninemics. The plasma phenyllactic acid concentration increased as the serum phenylalanine concentration increased. The 24-h urinary excretion of both phenylalanine and phenyllactic acid depends upon their respective concentrations in serum.


Key Words: phenyllactic acid, phenylpyruvic, and o- and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid • methylester derivatives • phenylalanine and phenyllactic acid concentrations in serum, and relation to urinary excretion
