A mini-review of literature data on the mechanisms of formation of the stock of free amino acids and their derivatives in liver pathology and methods for correcting metabolic imbalance.

The importance of amino acids in the biosynthesis of protein and highly active biological compounds was the main prerequisite for numerous studies of their content in body fluids and tissues in a wide variety of experimental and pathological situations. In the intermediate metabolism of amino acids and their derivatives, a connecting role is played by in the integration of the main metabolic flows [1-4]. The pool of free amino acids is represented by a rich set of metabolically and functionally interconnected compounds, with the concentrations being a regulatory factor at many key steps of metabolism [5, 6].
