✦ Synopsis

The techniques of systems analysis have been applied to the metabolism of phenylalanine in healthy subjects and in phenylketonuria to derive a computer model. The model consists of seven compartments and four biological functions. Enzyme reactions are assumed to obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The computer program is written in FORTRAN. A biological validation of the model has been performed. The computer model has potential value for estimating concentrations of key metabolites in human organs which are not accessible to direct analysis from measurements of metabolites in blood and urine and phenylalanine intake. Such estimates would be helpful in clinical decisions concerning modification or termination of dietary treatment in phenylketonuria.

## Abstract The reproducibility of metabolite content determined by MR spectroscopy (MRS) is usually at best a few percent for the prominent singlets. When studying low‐concentration metabolites, like phenylalanine (Phe), where tissue content can be <100 μmol/kg, better reproducibility is paramount

A method for measuring the cross-sectional area (CS area) of the peroneal nerve muscle groups (PNMG) by ultrasonography is presented. The method has a good reliability and can be performed easily. The mean value of the ratio (~100) of the right-sided PNMG CS area to the left-sided PNMG CS area in ri
