Nitrogen balance can be used for estimation of the adequacy of protein intake?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Nitrogen balance refers to the difference between the amount of nitrogen consumed and the amount excreted in the body. Since protein is the primary source of nitrogen in the diet, nitrogen balance can be used as an indicator of protein intake. A positive nitrogen balance indicates that protein intake is sufficient to meet the body's needs, while a negative nitrogen balance suggests inadequate protein intake. Therefore, it is true that nitrogen balance can be used for estimation of the adequacy of protein intake.
