| Popis: | 1. The metabolism of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus was studied in seven pairs of boys aged 9 to 10 years, similar in height and weight and fed on a diet based on rice or the same, supplemented daily with 40 gm. of protein-food based on 2∶1∶1 blend of groundnut flour, Bengal gram flour and fish flour (from oil sardine) adequately fortfied with certain vitamins. 2. All the experimental subjects in the two groups maintained a positive nitrogen balance. The mean daily nitrogen intake on the rice diet and rice-protein food diet was 7.51 and 10.42 gm. respectively. The apparent digestibility coefficients of the proteins in the above diets were 73.5 and 81.9 respectively. The mean daily nitrogen retention on the rice-protein food diet (2.68 gm.) was significantly higher (P |
