Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

most protein catabolised comes from the liver, spleen and skeletal muscles

TuteeHUB · Answer

glucose has a protein sparing effect by increasing insulin secretion

TuteeHUB · Answer

death occurs when protein depletion reaches 50% of normal level

TuteeHUB · Answer

total starvation leads to loss of up to 5gms/day of urea nitrogen due to protein catabolism

TuteeHUB · Answer

rapid protein depletion is the terminal phase once fat stores have been almost totally catabolised
