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.
A diet rich in choline, carnitine, and tryptophan may increase cancer risk by producing trimethylamine n-oxide (TMAO) and indole-3-acetic Acid (IAA) metabolites.
Is There a Choline, Carnitine, Tryptophan Cancer Risk via Diet? Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are metabolites produced by gut microbiota from specific dietary precursors found in certain foods....
