Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Phenylalanine (Phe) reduces antioxidant defense and promotes oxidative stress by causing increase in reactive oxygen-nitrogen species.

Furthermore, increased phenylalanine levels, and its metabolites, may enhance the endogenous synthesis of reactive species and free radicals and/or interfere with the endogenous synthesis of enzymatic antioxidants (like glutathione peroxidase).
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease  •  2011  |  View Paper
In conclusion, exposition to high phenylalanine concentrations for a short or long time results in a reduction of non‐enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant defenses , whereas protein and lipid oxidative damage only occurs in patients with late diagnosis.
