Translations:Protein toxicity/8/en

High protein intake can lead to high protein waste, and this is different from protein poisoning since the issue relates to the high level of the waste metabolites. Usually, when protein consumption goes above one-third of the food we consumed, this situation presents. The liver has a limited capacity and won't deaminate proteins, leading to increased nitrogen in the body. The rate at which urea is excreted can not keep up with the rate at which it is produced. The catabolism of amino acids can lead to toxic levels of ammonia. Furthermore, there is a limited rate at which the gastrointestinal tract can absorb amino acids from proteins.
