Please show all calculations below. 1. (2 Point) Referring to the previous question, how many grams of dietary nitrogen would be excreted in the urine assuming that losses through in the feces or from the skin (and other insensible losses) account for 6% of nitrogen losses per day? In what form is the majority of the urinary nitrogen excreted? 2.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 (mandatory)

Determine nitrogen intake by dividing the daily protein intake by 6.25.

Here, protein intake for zero nitrogen balance is.0.8g/kg body wt and wt is 135lbs means approx 61 kg so net protein intake will be =0.8× 61 =48.8g

So nitrogen intake will be =48.8/6.25=7.8 gram
