Total urinary excretion of nitrogen for the day can be used as an index of dietary nitrogen utilization in mammals. Wide variations have been shown for total urinary nitrogen excretion depending on the type of diets being consumed in different countries. Mongia ef al reported higher urinary nitrogen excretion in non-vegetarian subjects as compared to lacto-vegetarians and mixed diet eaters. Urea is the major end product of protein metabolism.

Abstract


Total urinary excretion of nitrogen for the day can be used as an index of dietary nitrogen utilization in mammals. Wide variations have been shown for total urinary nitrogen excretion depending on the type of diets being consumed in different countries. Mongia ef al reported higher urinary nitrogen excretion in non-vegetarian subjects as compared to lacto-vegetarians and mixed diet eaters. Urea is the major end product of protein metabolism.
