What causes the release of amino acids in the small intestine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually, when protein from your diet gets in your stomach, hydrochloric acid in the stomach breaks it down and then an enzyme called protease that is released by the pancreas breaks it down to more to amino acids in the small intestines.
