Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things - Products

General exchange of substances and products

To determine the amount of energy and substances entering the body and leaving it in the form of heat exchange and final products were created exact chemical methods.

It is known that the main nutrients are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. To estimate protein content in the diet is sufficient to determine the amount of nitrogen in them, since almost all the nitrogen is in food proteins. Nitrogen released mainly in the urine, but also partly through the skin and feces. Carbon is released through the lungs in expired air. Determination of fats and carbohydrates requires special techniques, of course, their products are carbon dioxide and water.

The main exchange

The intensity of estimated from the total energy consumption may vary depending on many factors, primarily on the physical work. However, in a state of complete rest metabolism and energy does not stop, and to ensure continuity of tone muscles consumes some energy. Determination of the intensity of the exchange is carried out under standard conditions: at full physical and mental rest in supine position for at least 14 hours after the last meal, at ambient temperature providing comfort condition. The resulting value is called basal metabolism.

From the age of 5 the value of basal metabolism is reduced. Basal metabolic rate can be increased with increasing or decreasing temperature at the physical and mental load.
