Effects of exaggerated amino acid and protein supply in man

E B Fern et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

A general update review of the dynamic aspect of protein metabolism is presented. The effect of excess protein level on protein metabolism has been the object of a limited number of studies in man. From the information available, it appears that the primary regulatory pathway for body protein homeostasis is the process of amino acid (protein) oxidation.
