In this study, children with phenylketonuria and healthy control subjects were assessed for glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), retinol, cholecalciferol, α-tocopherol, phylloquinone, total sialic acid (TSA), lipid bound sialic acid (LSA), total antioxidant (TAS), total oxidation (TOS), and amino acid levels, and the relationships of these variables with phenylketonuria were evaluated. The study included 60 children with phenylketonuria and 30 control subjects. Children with phenylketonuria were divided into hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) and amino acid mixture (AAM) groups. The HPA group had significantly lower levels of GSH-Px, CAT, GSH, TAS, α-aminobutyric acid, and taurine levels (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively) than the control group. Additionally, the AAM group had significantly lower levels of CAT, TAS, and phylloquinones (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively) than the control group. It was observed in our study that in the HPA group, a significantly strong positive linear correlation was observed between phenylalanine and α-aminoadipic acid (r = 0.777; p = 0.002). It was concluded that the levels of α-aminoadipic acid and phylloquinone might be an appropriate choice for the determination of phenylketonuria in parallel with the levels of phenylalanine. α-aminobutyric acid and phylloquinone as a supplement can decrease HPA damage.

D010661 Phenylketonurias A group of autosomal recessive disorders marked by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme PHENYLALANINE HYDROXYLASE or less frequently by reduced activity of DIHYDROPTERIDINE REDUCTASE (i.e., atypical phenylketonuria). Classical phenylketonuria is caused by a severe deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase and presents in infancy with developmental delay; SEIZURES; skin HYPOPIGMENTATION; ECZEMA; and demyelination in the central nervous system.

D010837 Vitamin K 1 A family of phylloquinones that contains a ring of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and an isoprenoid side chain. Members of this group of vitamin K 1 have only one double bond on the proximal isoprene unit. Rich sources of vitamin K 1 include green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. Vitamin K1 has antihemorrhagic and prothrombogenic activity. Phylloquinone,Phytomenadione,Phytonadione,Aquamephyton,Konakion,Phyllohydroquinone,Vitamin K1
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
