... week. Thus protein requirements are influenced by the habitual protein intake, which influences the nutritional demand for protein for repletion of fasting losses, the efficiency of such repletion and the consequent dietary need.

... acid balances that the amplitude of the diurnal cycling of body protein N in human adults increases with increasing dietary protein intake. Thus one component of the protein requirement for N balance reflects a demand for repletion of fasting losses which increases with increasing habitual protein...

The changes seen in urea kinetics reinforce the conclusion based upon nitrogen balance that the minimum physiological requirement for protein in normal adult man lies between 30 and 35 g of protein/day. colonic function nitrogen protein requirements...
