Diabetes impact on protein metabolism

The protein is a nitrogen-containing polymers, the basic unit is the amino acid composition. To participate in protein synthesis in a total of more than 20 kinds of amino acids, including eight kinds of amino acids the body can not self-synthesis, must be from the food supply. 8 kinds of essential amino acids are lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine and valine.

Protein is the most important life material basis, it constitutes an important component of human cell components, the total weight of the body about 18%. Most of it exists in the human muscle tissue, a small amount exists in the blood, soft tissue, bones and teeth.

Organization structure as a major component of proteins, often of self-renewal. The human body did not have any special place of protein, muscle protein will become a temporary warehouse-conditioning. Foods such as lean meat, fish, eggs, soy products, such as various beans and more protein, which after digestion and absorption of food is to the form of amino acids involved in protein synthesis, to compensate for physiological consumption. Under normal circumstances, the consumption per person per day to 50 grams of protein. Diabetes, the protein metabolic disorders, for the synthesis of hindered performance, decomposition to strengthen, resulting in hyperglycemia; protein consumption increased, in patients with weight loss and increasing physical weakness, lower resistance and therefore vulnerable to a variety of infectious diseases complicated.
