Which of the following values defines protein turnover?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein turnover refers to the constant process of protein synthesis and degradation in the body. Therefore, the sum of protein synthesis and degradation best defines protein turnover. Option A is not correct as it includes only the amount of protein in the body and food, rather than the process of turnover. Option C is not correct as it only refers to the amount of protein absorbed from the diet, which is not the same as protein turnover. Option D is not correct as protein is not used to synthesize glucose (gluconeogenesis) unless there is a lack of carbohydrates available.
