Why is Protein Important?
• A part of every cell• Needed in thousands of chemical reactions• Keep us “together” structurally• In short, proteins have many, many functions
from replacing skin cells, producing antibodies to assisting in nutrient transport and muscle contractions.

missing…• Non-essential AA:
• Essential AA:

Proteins in the Body
• Amino Acid Pool and Protein Turnover– Cells in your body constantly build and breakdown
proteins ______________________________• ____________________: because we are always
recycling our proteins, we need so little protein in our diet!
– When cells make proteins, they use amino acids from ______________________ : available amino acids in body tissues and fluids that can be used to make new proteins.

Nitrogen Balance• We can evaluate our nitrogen balance to evaluate what is
happening in our body– Nitrogen intake vs. nitrogen output
• Nitrogen equilibrium– Nitrogen intake _____ nitrogen output– ______________________________________
• Positive nitrogen balance– Nitrogen intake _____ Nitrogen output– ______________________________________
• Negative nitrogen balance– Nitrogen intake _____ Nitrogen output– ______________________________________
