How proteins are stored in the body?

Answer 1

Depends which proteins you are refering to. In general, proteins aren't stored by the body. They are synthesized by individual cells for a specific purpose. For example, liver cells produce albumin to maintain oncotic pressure, the pituitary produces FSH hormone to act on the ovaries (or testes), when there is excess protein in the diet, you can actually lose some protein and more creatinine, and more nitrogen is produced and lost through the renal system. The largest amount of proteins in the body is, I believe in the muscles. All ingested proteins are broken down to amino acids by the digestive tract before they can be absorbed in the intestines. The body then uses these amino acids to reconstruct other proteins necessary for the different body functions. If by chance, you lack certain essential amino acids, your body cannot make the proteins that include those amino acids and you will lose or breakdown a significant amount of amino acids because they cannot be used to make those proteins.

Answer 2

The body does not store proteins.
