The transport of amino acids in kidney and intestine is critical for the supply of amino acids to
all tissues and the homeostasis of plasma amino acid levels. This is illustrated by a number …

The small intestine mediates the absorption of amino acids after ingestion of protein and
sustains the supply of amino acids to all tissues. The small intestine is an important …
