is it because of osmotic pressure, body temperature, ph, or energy supply?

The human body makes use of certain amino acids found in the diet and converts them to specific neurotransmitters. Three primary amino acids in the diet that are important are tyrosine, lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) and tryptophan. The conversion sequences are as follows:

Tyrosine -> Dopa -> Dopamine -> Norepinephrine -> Epinephrine
Lecithin -> Choline -> Choline Acetyltransferase -> Acetylcholine -> Cholinesterase
Tryptophan ->Tryptophan Hydroxylase -> 5-Hydroxytryptophan -> Serotonin

Its because of osmotic pressure! Basically if the proteins are not returned by the lymphatic system, there will be tissue edema. This is because the excess proteins in the tissue will make increase the tissue colloid pressure which will result in increased fluid leakage from capillaries.

Colloid pressure is created by proteins in capillaries, which draws back fluid that filterated out from capillaries back into capillary. If there is more protein in tissue, then the colloid pressure will be greater in the tissue resulting the fluid leakage from capillary --> tissue rather than tissue --> capillary.
