Experiences with

Phenylalanine

The mutation, converting phenylalanine to tyrosine, basically adding a hydroxyl, seems kinda minor but my biology diploma is 50 years old (I moved to chemistry and materials for my career but stayed interested in molecular biology - a dilettante).

"HPDL-mediated metabolism of tyrosine and phenylalanine could represent a metabolic vulnerability of cancer cells thriving in a nutrient-deprived microenvironment."

L-Phenylalanine. Dug a little deeper and it related to protein and impact on levodopa. Found an interesting article on nutrition and PD too. I wonder if you could still take the Amino acids a few hours away from the C/L. Folate, B6 and B12 remain important.

I get some stomach acidity from Buprenorphine and often use Rennies as all other acid controlling substances increase RLS (note that one of the inactive ingredients in Gaviscon is aspartame, and it’s made from phenylalanine, which in turn is the precursor to dopamine).

While the cause of dopaminergic neuronal cell death in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is not yet understood, many endogenous molecules have been implicated in its pathogenesis. β-phenethylamine (β-PEA), a component of various food items including chocolate and wine, is an endogenous molecule produced from phenylalanine

Foods high in tyrosine include: Almonds, walnuts, and other nuts Avocados Bananas Eggs Lean meats (chicken, turkey, beef) Fish (salmon, trout, tuna) Legumes (beans, lentils) Foods Rich in Phenylalanine: Phenylalanine is another amino acid involved in dopamine synthesis.

They found that overall levels of amino acids were lower in fibromyalgia and that seven amino acids were especially low, including taurine, alanine, tyrosine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine, and threonine.The pattern of amino acid deficiency was especially suggestive of a problem with the sympathetic

Anyone using these in combination? I think adding SAM-e to this might work synergistically? I’m learning other means of increasing dopamine to wean off of Azilect.

Another piece if information that came up in the DNA result, which I wonder if it could be relevant relates to how my body could have impaired ability to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Given tyrosines role as a building block of thyroid hormone, I wonder if this could be linked?

(L-Phenylalanine or L-Tyrosine or L-Dopa ), L-Tryptophan or 5-HTP, L-Theanine I can say personally that DHT and EPT Omega-3 i.e. found in fish oil does help improve effects of ADHD meds in general.

I've read PCa feeds off of phenylalanine so wise to avoid the aspartame artificial sweetner. Tyrosine sounds closely related? Or is moderate intake of protein powders not that different than moderate intake of animal sources of protein, all having BCAAs?

What followed was a long recovery, I was off work for nearly 6 months and left with a range of after effects including intolerances to caffeine, cocoa, alcohol, nuts, coconut and phenylalanine. So, did VM crush me?

Suggest tyrosine and phenylalanine to dopamine production. I am not recommending the book Bought it on Amazon kindle $10 or used for $6. It may be available through kindle lending library (public library ebook). Cheaper than some of the scientific articles I have bought.

(A) leucine, (B) isoleucine, (C) glycine, (D) cortisol, (E) dihydrocortisol, (F) kynurenine, (G) phenylalanine; (H) acetylphenylalanine. Asterisk(*) denotes P < 0.05.

"Phenylacetylglutamine is produced when gut bacteria break down phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. Choline and betaine are in some foods, as well as being formed by gut bacteria.

This metabolite is produced when microbes in the gut break down phenylalanine, an amino acid found in many plant- and animal-based protein sources like meat, beans and soy.

Or otherwise should it be preferable in PSP to take phenylalanine supplements instead of tyrosine supplements? Kind regards

Also shows Asparagine, Histidine, L-Glutamine and Phenylalanine, with a list of other areas of imbalance. My concern is with having PA, if I can't absorb B12 from my diet or tablets, will I also have the same issue with B1 & Vit A?

It also contains Phenylalanine which is converted into L-Tyrosine. Our body uses L-Tyrosine in two different ways: 1-Boosting thyroid function 2-Producing Catecholamines such as (Dopamine, Norepinephrine and Epinephrine).
