Amino Acid Profile

Meaning

The Amino Acid Profile refers to the quantitative measurement and analysis of the individual concentrations of all twenty standard amino acids, including essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential types, present in biological fluids like plasma or urine. This profile offers a detailed biochemical snapshot of protein turnover, nutritional status, and the functional capacity of metabolic pathways. Evaluating this profile is clinically relevant for assessing the raw material availability required for synthesizing critical hormones, neurotransmitters, and structural proteins necessary for optimal physiological function.
