- Values are averages of 6 blood samples taken at hourly intervals during the last 6 hours of the infusion or pooled urine collected over the last 4 days of infusion. Net nitrogen balance is the difference between digested nitrogen intake (assuming a nitrogen digestibility of 0.85) and urinary nitrogen excretion. Values are means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). a,b,c Values within the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05).
