A metabolite of L-phenylalanine
2-Phenylacetamide is a metabolite of L-phenylalanine .1,2 It increases the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, an effect that can be blocked by the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist ICI 182780 .3 It also increases the levels of luteinizing hormone and estrogen and the expression of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ in the uterus of immature female mice. Urinary levels of 2-phenylacetamide are increased in male obese patients compared with non-obese males.1
