Document Summary
Study online at quizlet. com/_1adkzx: how does organic nitrogen enter metabolic pathways in the body, what are the. *three* metabolic states where amino acid oxidation occurs: where can nitrogen be gained from in the body in cases where there is low. Carbohydrates are not available or are improperly stored. Structural amino acids (such as those from muscle tissue). Liver location of most amino acid degradation: how is nitrogen released from amino acids? through *transamination* (a *non- oxidative* reaction) of the -amino group (*not* through its release as ammonia, what amino acid is. Along with transamination, it can also be deaminated by *oxidative* deamination through glutamate dehydrogenase: what *cycle* is the. Because leu is abundant in proteins, it can contribute to *ketone formation* in diabetes (because it is ketogenic, and breaks down into ketone bodies) Lys releases glu during degradation, but consumes -ketoglutarate in the process.
