Amino acid compositions or amino acid solutions for ameliorating liver failure characterized by containing threonine, proline, glycine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, lysine, aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, alanine, methionine, tryptophan, histidine and arginine; and amino acid compositions or amino acid solutions deleting tryptophan from the above-described ones. These amino acid compositions show a low blood GOT level, a low blood GPT level, a low liver triglyceride level and a low liver total cholesterol level, which are each an indication of the effect of ameliorating liver failure, and a low acute toxication mortality and a low knockdown ratio. In case of using these amino acid compositions, liver failure scarcely outbreaks or, if any, can be relatively easily ameliorated. |
