 [No title]
Catabolism generally refers to those processes in which body tissues and components are breaking down into simpler metabolic constituents.
When we refer to a catabolic state we are referring to a specific condition in which catabolic processes are dominant.
That is, they suppress the synthesis of protein, glycogen and triglycerides.

  Protein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proteins are essential to the structure and function of all living cells and viruses.
Protein is the major component in the regulation, growth and differentation of muscles, tendons, enzymes, skin, hair, eyes, as well as a tremendous variety of other organs and processes.
Proteins are often progenitors in allergies and allergic reactions to certain foods.

 Protein - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Proteins are one of the classes of bio-macromolecules, alongside polysaccharides and nucleic acids, that make up the primary constituents of living things.
When protein is listed on a nutrition label it only refers to the amount of complete proteins in the food, though the food may be very strong in a subset of the essential amino acids.
Protein deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, insulin resistance, hair loss, loss of hair pigment (hair that should be fl becomes reddish), loss of muscle mass (proteins repair muscle tissue), low body temperature, and hormonal irregularities.

 Profect protein beverage - For Special Medical Needs and Healthy Lifestyles
As part of an overall nutritional therapy, Profect is indicated to increase serum protein levels, balance metabolism and to aid in the body’s ability to rebuild lost tissues due to catabolism.
Pregnant and lactating women have protein requirements that are 30% to 40% higher than normal adults.Low protein intake may cause a decrease in milk production and depletion of protein stores.
There are several reasons for this, including increased energy requirements, decreased protein source from gut turnover, malabsorption, and increased protein turnover.Profect is indicated for the preservation and restoration of protein stores and body tissues, as well as for the support of protein-dependent biochemical functions.

 Protein, Part 4: Amino Acid Kinetics and Adaptations
The proteins synthesized after a meal are thought to be labile proteins; that is, proteins which serve mainly as a temporary storage site for protein (12).
The general premise is that chronically high intakes of protein lead to adaptive increases in protein oxidation and breakdown, which is deemed to be negative.
With regards to the concept of protein cycling, while the general idea is somewhat logical, in that decreasing protein intake can cause a transient decrease in oxidation and turnover, there is little indication that there will be a net gain in body protein when protein intake is increased again.

 Protein   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A protein (in Greek πρωτεϊνη = first element) is a complex, high molecular weight organic compound that consists of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
In terms of human nutritional needs, proteins differ in their ability to provide all eight of the amino acids (threonine, valine, tryptophan, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, and methionine) that humans cannot produce themselves.
Excess protein can cause problems as well, such as causing the immune system to overreact, liver dysfunction from increased toxic residues, bone loss due to increased acidity in the blood, foundering (foot problems) in horses, and has also been linked to obesity.

 Protein Controversies in Diabetes
Protein controversies exist either because research has not provided conclusive answers or because professionals are not aware of the research.
The majority of protein is digested, and the amino acids not used for gut fuel are metabolized in the intestinal mucosal cells and transported by the portal vein to the liver for protein synthesis or gluconeogenesis.
Protein degradation and conversion of both endogenous and exogenous protein to glucose in type 1 diabetes depends on the state of insulinization and degree of glycemic control.

 Bodybuilding.com - Planet Muscle - Eat The Right Proteins To Grow!
You need a protein that works BOTH sides of the muscle-building equation, to slam the brakes on muscle protein catabolism as it hits the gas pedal on muscle protein anabolism.
In fact, suppression of protein catabolism is the central means by which your body maintains protein balance in the face of fluctuations in dietary protein intake over the course of a day.
Stimulation of muscle protein synthesis is the means by which resistance training (lifting weights) makes muscles grow [Barr and Esser, 1999], and it's also how some of the most powerful muscle-building hormones used by athletes operate (e.g., testosterone, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1).

 Using carbohydrates as fuel, protein building lean muscle mass
I think it's imperative that you understand that protein isn't found in muscle alone, but is a major component of almost every cell in the body.
Protein will serve you a dual role in body modification in that it is as important for body fat reduction as it is for muscular gains.
In regards to body fat reduction, protein has a specific dynamic action on the metabolism which means that when you ingest protein, your metabolic rate is elevated higher and remains elevated longer than when you ingest either fats or carbohydrates.
