Shifts in amino acids profile in chronic pancreatitis
Patients with CP have altered amino acid blood levels, an increased ratio of nonessential to essential amino acids. The severity of CP was found to increase the levels of nonessential amino acids, with proline showing the strongest associations with severity, elastase-1 levels, and pancreatic stiffness.
