Fig. 3. Injection i.p. of recombinant PAL enzyme reduces plasma phenylalanine in the ENU2/2 mouse (y axis is logarithmic scale) over time (x axis) (P < 0.05). Reduction of plasma phenylalanine by PAL shows a dose-response relationship (z axis). Data are normalized to the control (sham-treated) values for each animal at each point. Data depicted are the average of five paired series. The range of control (100%) values was 390-2,013 µmol/liter for animals receiving 2 units of PAL, 572-1,488 µmol/liter for animals receiving 20 units, and 504-1,474 µmol/liter for animals receiving 100 units.
