Amino acids are the "alphabet" of protein structure, determining many of the properties of proteins. Amino acids are rapidly absorbed and readily available in the blood. In the cell, amino acids maintain protein stores and counteract hormone-mediated catabolic stimuli. Thus, amino acid supplementation may be effective in counteracting the metabolic and morphologic consequences of the hypercatabolic state of chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes mellitus, or liver cirrhosis.
氨基酸是蛋白质结构的“字母表”，决定了蛋白质的许多特性。氨基酸可迅速被吸收，且在血液中易于获取。在细胞中，氨基酸维持蛋白质储备，并对抗激素介导的分解代谢刺激。因此，补充氨基酸可能有效地对抗诸如心力衰竭、糖尿病或肝硬化等慢性疾病的高分解代谢状态所带来的代谢和形态学后果。
