Adults with PKU have matured enzyme systems that can better manage and process phenylalanine compared to newborns. Newborns are still developing these systems, so even small amounts of phenylalanine can accumulate to harmful levels in their bodies. Monitoring and managing phenylalanine intake is crucial for both adults and newborns with PKU.
