Title:Catabolism of Amino Acids Nitrogen
Index
1.Nitrogen balance NB
2.Three main states can express the NB
3.Protein turnover
4.Fate of ammonia
5.Ammonia intoxication
6.Biosynthesis of Urea
7.Urea cycle
8.Regulation of the Urea Cycle
9.Metabolic disorders of the urea cycle
, Nitrogen balance NB
NB is the comparison between the nitrogen intake( in the
form of dietary protein) and nitrogen loss ( undigested
protein in feces, NPN as urea, ammonia, creatinine and
uric acid).
NB is important in defining:
1- The overall protein metabolism of an individual.
2- Nutritional nitrogen requirement.
