Amino Acid Profiles

Meaning

Amino acid profiles refer to the quantitative measurement and analysis of the individual concentrations of all 20 standard amino acids, both essential and non-essential, within biological fluids such as plasma or urine. This biochemical assessment offers a clinical snapshot of protein metabolism, nutritional status, and the functional capacity of metabolic pathways. Evaluating these profiles is essential for understanding the foundational building blocks available for hormone synthesis and overall cellular repair.
