Differences between Measured Total Nitrogen Losses in Spent Peritoneal Dialysate Effluent and Estimated Nitrogen Losses

Protein metabolism in human neonates: nitrogen-balance studies, estimated obligatory losses of nitrogen and whole-body turnover of nitrogen.

1. Aspects of nitrogen metabolism in the human neonate were assessed in one full-term infant and six premature infants by means of nitrogen-balance measurements, estimates of obligatory nitrogen losses and determinations of whole-body nitrogen turnover. 2. Our data indicate that the mean protein requirement for maintenance is 1-1 g of protein day-1 kg-1 and that 3-8 g of protein day-1 kg-1 shou...

Nitrogen budgets and losses in livestock systems

Livestock farming systems encompass (i) grazing, (ii) mixed, and (iii) land-less systems. These systems convert crop protein into animal protein with an efficiency ranging from 5% to 45%, depending on animal type, system and management. The nitrogen (N) in the remaining fraction (55– 95%) is in urine and dung, and is conducive to N losses. This paper reviews N input–output budgets and N losses ...

Protein requirements in tropical countries: nitrogen losses in sweat and their relation to nitrogen balance.

I. An experiment was undertaken to determine whether high rates of sweating in a tropical climate affect protein requirements by increasing the total nitrogen losses from the body. 2. Six fully acclimatized volunteers were given a diet supplying 5 0 g protein (= 8 g N) daily. They performed strenuous physical work of a normal nature for an average of 64 h a day for two 5-day periods. During con...

Unexpected Banking Loan Losses in an Estimated DSGE Model

  In spite of realizing more loss than expected and reserved provision in loaning process, some of our banks avoid recognizing the losses, through extension of the loan contracts and consequently do not shift the realized losses to their capital. With this in mind, the major objective of this study is to design a frame-work, through which we can explain the differences between the results of t...
