Alteration of Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations in Iranian Children with COVID-19

Table 4

Comparison of amino acids concentration (μmol /L) between the recovered and expired patients.

Analyte	Expired patients	Recovered patients	value	Analyte	Expired patients	Recovered patients	value
	Alanine					0.03		Isoleucine			0.01
Arginine			0.034	Lysine			0.43
Asparagine			0.08	Methionine			0.43
Aspartic acid			0.23	Ornithine			0.37
Citrulline			0.12	Phenylalanine			0.73
α-Aminobutyric acid			0.14	Serine			0.01
Glutamic acid			0.86	Taurine			0.28
Glutamine			0.07	Threonine			0.47
Glycine			0.005	Tryptophane			0.17
Histidine			0.84	Tyrosine			0.24
Leucine			0.16	Valine			0.17

The Mann–Whitney test was used to determine differences in amino acids levels between recovered and expired patients. is statistically significant.
