Additionally, if the saturable urea system [13] is overwhelmed by amino acid derived ammonia, symptoms of hyperammonemia, or “rabbit starvation,” follow [14]. Even at a subclinical level, greater ammonia is a burden on kidney nephrons [15,16]." Mamounis, K.J. The Dangers of Fat Metabolism and PUFA: Why You Don’t Want to be a Fat Burner.
