Wld hv same question. Apparently quite possible.
The concentration of amino acids and glucose is typically higher in blood than in urine. In healthy individuals, the kidneys filter these substances from the blood, reabsorbing most of the amino acids and glucose back into the bloodstream. Consequently, only trace amounts of these nutrients are usually found in urine. Elevated levels in urine can indicate certain health conditions, such as diabetes or kidney dysfunction.
The absence of glucose and amino acids in urine is primarily due to their reabsorption in the kidneys. In the renal tubules, glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed from the filtrate back into the bloodstream through specific transport mechanisms, such as sodium-glucose co-transporters and amino acid transporters. This reabsorption process ensures that these essential nutrients are retained in the body rather than excreted. If glucose or amino acids appear in urine, it may indicate a pathological condition, such as diabetes mellitus or renal tubular disorders.
Excess amino acids are broken down into urea primarily through the process of deamination, which occurs in the liver. During deamination, the amino group is removed from the amino acids, resulting in the formation of ammonia, which is then converted into urea through the urea cycle. This urea is subsequently excreted from the body via the kidneys in urine.
They are broken down into urea then carried via blood to the kidneys and the excreted as urine
When proteins break down, they are broken into amino acids by enzymes in a process called hydrolysis. This breakdown allows the body to absorb and utilize the individual amino acids for various functions, such as building new proteins, providing energy, or supporting enzyme activity.
An aminoaciduria is the presence of amino acids in the urine.
Having amino acids in the urine can be a sign of a health issue, such as kidney problems or metabolic disorders. It is always best to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if necessary.
The primary uses of amino acids are as building blocks for protein and peptide synthesis and as a source of nitrogen for the synthesis of other amino acids. Amino acids considered to be "surplus" will be catabolized meaning surplus amino acids are used as metabolic fuel.
Yes it does
In this capacity the liver is acting as part of the excretory system.
Excess amino acids cannot be stored in the body because unlike fats and carbohydrates, there is no specialized storage form for amino acids. Instead, the body must convert them into energy, store them as fat, or excrete them through the urine. Thus, any surplus amino acids are not efficiently retained in the body.
it may be due heavy proteinous diet due to which amino acids make the urine alkaline
How can proteins be detected in urine
it is ether amino acids or hemopglobin I think
The source of ammonia in human bodies are dietary amino acids (through catabolism of amino acids)and syntheses and degradation of urea while its fate is excretion as NH4+ in urine.
