ResumoTularaemia in rats causes a doubling of the serum phenylalanine/tyrosine ratio and a more than twofold increase in muscle phenylalanine which cannot be accounted for by decreased hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.1) activity, but appear to result from a generalized movement of amino acids from muscle to liver during infection.
