Sentences with phrase «increase nitrogen excretion»

Low - carb diets have repeatedly been shown to increase nitrogen excretion, which is one reason why they suck the big one for building muscle.

However, doubling dietary protein intake (1.8 g · kg − 1 · d − 1) abrogated the increased nitrogen excretion and resultant negative nitrogen balance that occurred after the 7 - d energy deficit.

Not exact matches

Researchers in Hawaii found that guppies released in the 1920s drove down native fish populations, perhaps by competing with them for food and living space, and had likely changed the cycle of nutrients in water: Guppy - rich areas showed increased levels of dissolved nitrogen — from ammonium in fish urine and gill excretions — which, in turn, stimulated algae growth.

Urinary urea nitrogen excretion, which is indicative of total protein intake, increased substantially with the combination diet.

Dietary carbohydrate deprivation increases 24 - hour nitrogen excretion without affecting postabsorptive hepatic or whole body protein metabolism in healthy men.

If we equate de facto ketogenic diets with high - protein diets (which is not always correct) then the risks proposed by critics of this type of dietary approach are essentially those of possible kidney damage due to high levels of nitrogen excretion during protein metabolism, which can cause an increase in glomerular pressure and hyperfiltration.12 There is not wide agreement between studies; however, some infer the possibility of renal damage from animal studies, 99, 100 whereas others, looking at both animal models, meta - analyses and human studies, propose that even high levels of protein in the diet do not damage renal function.101, 102 In subjects with intact renal function, higher dietary protein levels caused some functional and morphological adaptations without negative effects.103 There may actually be renal - related effects, but on blood pressure rather than morphological damage.

However, increasing dietary protein intake may offset the increase in nitrogen excretion and negative nitrogen balance that generally occurs during periods of energy deficiency (13, 14).

«Athletes on high protein diets should stay well - hydrated, as water loss can be increased from nitrogen excretion during protein breakdown.»
