Changes in amino acid metabolites in the hippocampus of LAO1 KO mice. (a) Heat map of the relative significant changes in the hippocampus of male WT and LAO1 KO mice (n = 5 per group). The heat map ranges from −2 to +2 on a log2 scale. (b) Histograms of typical metabolite changes between male WT and LAO1 KO mice (n = 5 per group). (c) Schematic diagram showing Phe metabolism. LAO is the metabolic enzyme that converts Phe to phenylpyruvic acid and Tyr to acetoacetic acid via 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvic acid.
