Nitrogen Disposal & Carbon Skeletons- AI Podcast
from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
The body cannot store excess amino acids, so they are used for protein synthesis or energy. During catabolism, nitrogen is converted into toxic ammonia, which the urea cycle safely removes. Remaining carbon skeletons are repurposed for fuel by producing glucose or acetyl CoA which are both catabolized to produce energy.
