ocess in the kidneys, ammonia combines with hydrogen ions to form ammonium ions, which are excreted in the urine. this process helps regulate blood ph and eliminate excess ammonia from the body. 5 amino acid metabolism: a multifaceted process amino acids serve as building blocks of proteins and are metabolized for energy, neurotransmitter synthesis, and nitrogen balance. their metabolic fates include deamination, transamination, and conversion into metabolic intermediates. 6 glucogenic amino acids: glucose precursors alanine alanine is converted into pyruvate, a precursor for gluconeogenesis, catalyzed by alanine aminotransferase (alt). aspartate aspartate is converted into oxaloacetate, another precursor for gluconeogenesis, catalyzed by aspartate aminotransferase (ast). 7 ketogenic amino acids: ketone body production ketogenic amino acids, like leucine and lysine, are converted into ketone bodies (acetoacetate or acetyl-coa), which can be used as an alternative energy source by the body. 8 hereditary diseases: disruptions in metabolism hyperammonemia defects in urea cycle enzymes, …
