It has been found out that the HPA group was significantly lower than the control group with regards to Zn, Se, K, Ca, Mg and Zn/Cr levels (p <0.001, p <0.01, p <0.001, p <0.01, p <0.01 and p <0.001 respectively). In the patients with HPA, significantly strong positive correlations were observed between magnesium and calcium (r = 0.791; p = 0.001), also, indicates negative significant correlation between the concentrations of magnesium and phenylalanine (r = 0.591; p = 0.026). The results of this study showed that, in the HPA group, phenylalanine-Mg relationship found, the presence of disease will in the evaluation of phenylalanine and other amino acids, together with the value of magnesium is required to consider.
