Document Summary

Synthesis of nonprotein molecules that contain nitrogen. An inherited condition attributed to a defective gene. Anecdotal reactions flushed face, tingling or burning sensations, headache, rapdi heartbeat, chest pain, general weakness. Nitrogen balance: nitrogen in = nitrogen out. Negative nitrogen balance: nitrogen in < nitrogen out. Positive nitrogen balance: nitrogen in > nitrogen out. Needs increase during periods of growth, pregnancy, and lactation. Ability of our body to digest the protein. To assimilate the amino acids from that. The complement of amino acids that is in that protein. Mg of limiting amino acid/g of test protein / mg of limiting amino acid/g of reference protein x 100. Wt gain when fed test protein / wt gain when fed reference protein. Nitrogen retained / nitrogen consumed x 100. Nitrogen retained / nitrogen absorbed x 100. Facilitate, function as part of metabolic pathways that give rise to the machinery that creates atp. Require bile and dietary fat for absorption.
