Describe what happens when amino acids are oversupplied in the diet

Answer 1

When amino acids are oversupplied, the body cannot store them. It has no choice but to remove and excrete their amine groups and then use the residues in one of three ways: to meet immediate energy needs, to make glucose for storage as glycogen, or to make fat for energy storage. The body readily converts amino acids to glucose. The body also possesses enzymes to convert amino acids into fatty acids. An indirect contribution of amino acids to fat stores also exists— the body speeds up its use of excess amino acids for fuel, burning them instead of fat, making fat more abundantly available for storage in the fat tissue.
