In the \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eliver, L-phenylalanine is involved in a number of biochemical reactions, including \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eprotein synthesis, the formation of L-tyrosine, and oxidative catabolic reactions. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-phenylalanine that is not metabolized in the liver circulates to the various tissues of \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ethe body, where it undergoes metabolic reactions similar to those that take place in the \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eliver. The first step of phenylalanine catabolism yields tyrosine. Tyrosine then \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eundergoes a series of metabolic changes, leading to the formation of hormones.
