Summary Introduction
To determine: The pathway followed by the amino acids to release energy in the given figure.
Introduction: Most of the amino acids absorbed from a meal synthesize proteins in the tissues. Amino acids reached to the liver by the hepatic portal system. The liver synthesizes various lipoproteins and plasma proteins.
