Abstract
When rats weighing 70 gm. were taken from an adequate ration and fed a N-free diet a shift in urine N excretion followed the general equation log Y = a + b log X. The decline in body wt. was in accordance with the equation log Y = a + b X, and a slight progressive decline in the ratio fecal N/food intake was observed. The urine N coefficient declined over a period of about 50 days and thereafter increased slightly.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
