Abstract
Background: Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are protein-building ingredients that may be derived from dietary sources or via the protein synthesis process. Protein synthesis employs a set of twenty-two isotropic amino acids. Although twenty of these 22 amino acids are required for protein synthesis, the other eighteen are mostly used as building blocks for other proteins.
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the amino acids arginine, taurine, and tryptophan on human neutrophil functions in patients with renal failure.
