Nitrogen is a fundamental component of amino acids, which are the molecular building blocks of protein. Therefore, measuring nitrogen inputs and losses can be used to study protein metabolism. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. Nitrogen balance can be described as a measure of the net change in total body protein. If nitrogen balance is positive, the subject is in a net anabolic state, whereas if the nitrogen balance is negative, the subject is in a net catabolic state such as from starvation or inadequate protein intake.
