Abstract

Proteins and amino-acids represents several important functions: a) Provide structural and metabolic requirements in term of enzymatic and mediator functions, b) Group of amino acids represents specific mediators in the transfer of metabolic information and organ coordination. c) Selected amino acids (valin, leucin, isoleucin) are important and reliable resource of energy in critical condition and in case of reduced of glucose and fatty acid oxidation.
