Introduction:

Proteins are divided into individual amino acids during digestion and absorption in the small intestine. When absorbed into the blood, cells rapidly absorb amino acids, especially in the liver. Amino acids are used primarily to produce required proteins and only secondarily as a source of energy. The synthesis of non-essential amino acids usually begins with keto acids.
