Tag: Protein reserve

According to scientific studies, the concept of a labile protein reserve is founded on the body's adaptation to abrupt changes in dietary protein supply, resulting in a new, albeit slower, equilibrium of nitrogen excretion. This dynamic, rather than static, concept represents the body's adaptable pool of protein, primarily sourced from skeletal muscles.

Despite common belief, the human body does not possess a dedicated, static storage organ for protein like it does for fat and carbohydrates. Instead, the body's protein reserve refers to the dynamic and fluid system of amino acids and functional proteins that can be mobilized when required.
