  2. Protein Catabolism

  3. Metabolic Circumstances of Amino Acid Oxidation Amino acids undergo oxidative catabolism under three circumstances: • Leftover amino acids from normal protein turnover are degraded • Dietary amino acids that exceed body’s protein synthesis needs are degraded • Proteins in the body are broken down to supply amino acids for catabolism when carbohydrates are in short supply (starvation, diabetes mellitus, atkins diet)
