how long does the body take to breakdown proteins?
342208
proteins are broken down to short chains of polypeptide in the stomach, which only takes about an hour after the protein is consumed.\n\nshort polypeptides are then broken down to amino acids in the small intestine. so the entire process should take no more than sevreal hours to complete.

i remember my sister telling me about this but it realli depends on wat u eat meat takes longer to break down and the quantity that u eat the more u eat the more it takes to digest i think sorry i cant help u on this but i think that may give u a little clue right

acidity, radiation, heat, etc. destroy the protein component of enzyme, it's denaturation.

About 4 hours.\n\nYou're dribbling a bit there, you might want to get a tissue.

It's different for each tissue in the body... some examples are: epithelial (skin) cells: 1 month, or neurons (brain cells) : 50 years.

About 3 years.  If you are a doctor, maybe less, but the correct answers are in the websites here.\n\nSee below.

Eating healthy and EXERCISE!! Work out 5 days a week for an hour to 2 hours and have a protein based diet with low carbs.. try not to eat carbs late at night or for dinner... it usually takes 6 weeks for results to be seen.. but it depends on weight and age.. good luck!

Depends. If you eat a big meal, about an 1- 1 1/2 hrs.  If it's a power bar or something small, about 30 min.

It all depends, but it may take a while to do so. Other wise your loosing lean body mass and water, so you'll be thin, but unhealthy. Best way to loose weight is to cut stuff like alcohol and cookies. Then try eating multiple meals a day. about 5, protein only lasts in your body for about 3 hours. After eating right and hydration, try exercising. It should be done for a little each day for best results. Anything will do, but i recommend Russian kettle bells. They utilize multiple muscles rather than just one at a time if used correctly. Exercise is essential. Results may only be 1-3 kg lost per week, but it's thew healthy way to go.

In general, we need protein in our diets to supply the body with the amino acids necessary for various metabolic processes.  The result of insufficient protein intake is that the body will try to get these amino acids from the best available source which is your muscle tissue.  Over time you will lose muscle mass.

One function of proteins is structural.  They are kind of like the framework of a cell, known as a cytoskeleton.  Proteins also make up structural features such as your hair.  The second function of proteins in the human body is a biochemical function.  Our enzymes are proteins.  Without them we would not be able to digest our food, use the energy we get from food, repair our cells, carry oxygen from the air we breathe around our body, fight off infection, and many, many other things.  Proteins are so important to the human body that the function of our DNA is to code for our proteins!  That's what DNA mostly does, it just tells our body what protiens to make and in what amounts.

Proteinuria\n\nHealthy kidneys take wastes out of the blood but leave in protein. Impaired kidneys may fail to separate the protein from the wastes. Proteinuria means protein in the urine, and it is a sign of poor kidney function. If your urine makes foam in the toilet, it may contain high levels of protein. Your doctor may test for protein using a dipstick in a small sample of your urine taken in the doctor's office. The color of the dipstick indicates the presence or absence of proteinuria. For a more precise measurement, you may need to collect urine for 24 hours.

We get a number of nutrients from animals, but the primary one is protein.  The stomach breaks these down with a digestive enzyme called pepsin -- along with hydrochloric acid.  The resulting pieces are called amino acids.  These amino acids are absorbed into the blood at the small intestines, and carried in the blood to the body tissues.  The cells at these tissues contain the information necessary to reassemble these amino acids back into body proteins. This process is called protein synthesis.\nProteins can also be converted to energy by first reducing them into amino acids, then removing a specific part of the amino acid (called amine groups).  The resulting compound is now glucose.  The process is called deaminization.  The glucose can then be converted to energy in a process called cellular respiration.

Nothing to do but wait.  Depending on how much is already in your system, it could take 2 weeks to a month for it to be completely gone.  There isn't a thing you can do to speed that up.

It depends on the person's body fat and muscle weight, but someone can live for weeks, possible more than a month without food. But organs could shut down and kill him or her much sooner.
