What is the source of ammonia in our body ? ???

$explain \: briefly \ \ \:$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

• L-Amino acid oxidase and D-amino acid oxidase are minor sources of ammonium ions in the body. Apparently, most blood ammonia originates directly from the catabolism of dietary protein in the gut. The digestion of dietary protein and catabolism by enzymes in the enterocytes and gut microflora produce ammonium ions.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ammonia is thought to be generated in the gastrointestinal tract by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous substrates and by deamidation of glutamine in the large and small intestine
