Abstract
Little documentation has appeared in the literature regarding absorption and retention of a spectrum of inorganic ele ments from a given formula diet. The testing of formula diets via nasogastric tube, as a form of therapy, has received practically no attention in past years. This report, the first in a series, describes nitrogen balance, absorption and retention of 14 inorganic elements in healthy subjects following oral feeding of a fortified milk-base formula. Subsequent reports deal with the responses of seriously ill patients tube-fed this diet as a means of total nutritional support.
