Deaminated in liver n + s (ammonia) are excreted in urine and feces. Broken down into amino acids (don"t need to know the amino acids), but when they are broken down to amino acids they can be used as fuel. Under starvation conditions we break down muscle to give us energy. Oxidation of leucine (amino acid) during exercise: Quantifying intensity as litre of oxygen consumed per hour.

Protein (ptn) oxidation in men and women at rest, before (pre-training) and after (post-training) a 4-week endurance training program:
