Protein and AA
Across
- 5. the process of removing an amino group from one AA to another
- 7. this type of athletes likely uses more AA during their exercise
- 8. free ammonia is converted to this and primarily removed in urine
- 9. this type of diet may put an athlete at risk for a protein deficiency
- 12. this must be removed from an AA before it can be oxidized
- 14. the concept of protein being simultaneous protein synthesis and degradation
Down
- 1. the abbreviation for the three most abundant AA in the muscle
- 2. structural proteins turnover at this speed
- 3. this milk protein is slowly digested
- 4. this BCAA is most closely related to increased muscle protein synthesis
- 6. the anabolic window for protein ingestion after exercise is likely this many hours
- 10. regulatory proteins turnover at this speed
- 11. true or false. protein synthesis will only increase more than breakdown if amino acids are consumed after exercise
- 13. the number of essential amino acids
