Phenylalanine
Explanation: Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, meaning the human body cannot make it on its own, but needs to get it from foods like meat, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy products. Phenylalanine is essential for growth, protein production, and brain function, but too much of it can cause serious health problems, particularly in the brain.
Test purpose: Evaluate amino acid metabolism: to detect imbalances in amino acids caused by nutritional issues, liver dysfunction, or metabolic conditions such as phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder.
