but it is better not to break into this Explanation: I was torn between 'dip' and 'break' but I suppose either would be fine. As far as references I hope this is helpful: An excessive amount of protein intake potentially could lead to limitation of gut absorption and thus to a reduction of the percentage protein absorption. It is more likely, however, that the maximum that the gut cells can utilize for own metabolism is reached more quickly and that, consequently, higher proteinmintake will reduce the percentage of protein extracted. The amino acids that are not absorbed and undigested proteins will flow into the colon. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8344/b4e504ebd0c21a97a495560c6c58dcac795a.pdf |

that should only be mobilized (or drawn upon) in extreme circumstances. Explanation: "Protein is the only macronutrient that does not have an inactive compound to serve as a reservoir. [...] It is important that the proper amount of protein is consumed to prevent muscle wasting and maintain skeletal muscle mass and function." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4394186/ "Skeletal muscle is a protein reservoir that can be mobilized in times of need," https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090608091337.h... |

peer agreement (net): +1see explanation Explanation: The previous two answers "but it is better not to draw on this" and "should only be drawn upon in extreme circumstances" express this act of protein catabolism as a deliberate, conscious action. But protein catabolism is not deliberate - it is a pathological mechanism which is triggered when the body is in a state of malnutrition. Therefore I would recommend rephrasing your text: "Va anche detto che nell’organismo esiste una sorta di magazzino proteico che è meglio non intaccare: quello dei muscoli. Non a caso quando l’organismo viene lasciato per molte ore senza proteine, le “smonta” nei muscoli stessi, con il rischio di intaccare questa preziosa riserva." Something along the lines of: "Skeletal muscle acts as an important protein reserve, and when intake of this nutrient is inadequate, the body draws on these precious stores, leading to muscle wastage." "If not enough energy is taken in through diet, as in the process of starvation, the body will use protein from the muscle mass to meet its energy needs, leading to muscle wasting over time. If the individual does not consume adequate protein in nutrition, then muscle will also waste as more vital cellular processes (e.g., respiration enzymes, blood cells) recycle muscle protein for their own requirements" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_(nutrient) |
