Assessment of serum amino acids profile in adult patients with Crohn’s disease

Rationale: Amino acids (AAs) act as the key regulatory factor in controlling metabolic pathways and have important effects on keeping the intestinal health. Different studies described altered serum AAs levels in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting a potential link between the concentration of AAs and CD. The aim of this study was to assess serum AAs profile in patients with CD and its correlation with disease severity.
