how does metabolic acidosis cause protein catabolism
Metabolic acidosis also promotes urinary calcium and phosphate excretion to counteract an increase in the circulating acid load produced by the catabolism of protein [15, 16]. Metabolism of protein in the body is known to differ between exercising participants and non-exercising participants [17, 18]. However, limited athlete-specific research on the effects of excessive dietary protein on metabolic homeostasis exists, even in groups of resistance exercisers.
