Symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) are similar in men, women, and children. Early symptoms and signs are usually easy to recognize and primarily involve pain, discomfort, or burning when trying to urinate.
Protein digestion begins in the stomach with the action of an enzyme that we previously learned about called pepsin. Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. When pepsin acts on the protein molecule, it breaks the bonds that hold the protein molecule together, called peptide bonds.
Protein digestion works by reducing each dietary protein to a pool of amino acids within your gastrointestinal tract. The amino acids, once they are absorbed and transported to your cells, can then mix and match in a variety of ways to create the different proteins your body needs at any given point in time.
