Spare proteins

Storage proteins are proteins that the body uses as an energy source if the protein intake from food is insufficient. They are found mainly in the liver and muscles, as well as in other tissues.

Storage proteins can be used by the body as a source of energy in two cases: when the supply of proteins to the body is limited or when proteins cannot be quickly and efficiently used to obtain energy. For example, in conditions of starvation or in diseases associated with metabolic disorders, the body can use reserve proteins to maintain vital functions.

If there is a lack of protein in the diet, the body begins to use reserve proteins. In the liver they are converted into glucose and fats, which are used for energy, and in the muscles into amino acids, which can also be used for energy.

However, long-term use of storage proteins can lead to their deficiency in the body, which can cause various diseases and disorders in the functioning of organs and systems. Therefore, it is important to monitor the intake of proteins in the body and try to get them from food.

In general, storage proteins play an important role in maintaining the vital functions of the body and can be used as a source of energy when there is a lack of protein intake from food. However, their long-term use can lead to deficiency and disruption of the body.

Spare proteins

Spare proteins are the body's reserve proteins, which are used in case of insufficient intake of food proteins into the body. Proteins that are in a reserve state and in the bloodstream, but are not used for the synthesis of new proteins or substances that participate in chemical metabolic reactions in the body, are called protein-buffer ions
