Protein digestion is a process that breaks down proteins into amino acids, which are then used by the body to build proteins and other macromolecules. Some benefits of protein digestion include:
- Making nonessential amino acids: The body uses amino acids to make nonessential amino acids, which are needed for protein synthesis.
- Storing as fat: The body can rearrange amino acids and store them as fat.
- Protein synthesis: The body uses amino acids to synthesize proteins in cells around the body.
- Fuel for the brain and red blood cells: The body can rearrange amino acids into glucose, which is used as fuel for the brain and red blood cells.
- Fuel for immediate energy: The body can metabolize amino acids as fuel for an immediate source of ATP.
- Making other nitrogen-containing compounds: The body uses amino acids to make other nitrogen-containing compounds.
