Caffeine is a natural stimulant in your body. Drinking sodas, coffee, tea or energy drinks when you have a UTI can stimulate your digestive and urinary tract -- not a good idea when your goal is to soothe instead. Caffeine-containing beverages like coffee also can have a dehydrating effect as well.
Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule. Enzymes that catalyse this reaction are called deaminases. In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver, however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys. Deamination is the process by which amino acids are broken down if there is an excess of protein intake. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia. The rest of the amino acid is made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen, and is recycled or oxidized for energy.
removal of the amino (NH2) group from a compound such as an amino acid. dietary proteins containing all the essential amino acids in relatively the same amounts that human beings require. they may also contain nonessential amino acids. a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake. limiting amino acid. the essential amino acid found in the shortest supply relative to the amounts needed for protein synthesis in the body. four amino acids are most likely to be limiting: lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan
