What is the difference between produced and synthesized by liver in the case of albumin?

Dear student,

Albumin or the serum albumin is the most abundant protein found in human blood plasma it is produced in liver but during some conditions such as when there is inadequate protein intake, the body begins to breakdown muscle to obtain enough amino acids for the synthesis of serum albumin. Albumin is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin, 

Regards
