L-phenylalanine (L-PHE) is a synthetic precursor of catecholamines. Because it cannot be synthesised by an organism, it must be absorbed from the environment. Despite the wide use of L-PHE, whether L-PHE has a negative impact on embryo implantation and development is poorly understood. This study attempted to determine the roles of L-PHE in embryo implantation and development and in the immune response and antioxidant status of the uterus in early pregnancy mice injected intraperitoneally with 320 mg/kg L-PHE. The embryo number of treated mice decreased by 57.6%, and the size of their embryos was reduced by 2.8% (P>0.05) along the long diameter and 11.9% (P
