Concept explainers
Interpretation: To determine the condition that would result in a negative nitrogen balance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen balance is defined as the state of when the amount of nitrogen intake by the human body in form of proteins is equal to the amount of nitrogen expel out form the body as a waste product.
The difference in the nitrogen intake and nitrogen output from the body result in nitrogen imbalance. There are mainly two types of nitrogen imbalances:
1. Positive nitrogen balance: It occurs when nitrogen intake exceeds nitrogen output.
2. Negative nitrogen balance: It occurs when nitrogen output exceeds nitrogen intake.
