Brief Answer:
thank you for your question

Detailed Answer:
proline is one of the amino acids that can the body made. Its level as like others is measured in normal range and not different to others.As for T. , it is increased in any inflammation in the body even in mild one which you can not feel it, so I prefer to do complete blood picture to know how much the intensity of this inflammation. I hope you found the answers you wish.
