Most adult patients discontinue the inflexible diet, and are exposed to PKU's adverse effects. Research supports large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) as potential alternative strategy; we propose an additive LNAA strategy. We aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a combined treatment strategy: usual care (the PKU diet) with LNAA supplementation.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/np1939959}, recid = {8244}, address = {2020}, }
