What do we learn regarding the protein metabolism from this series ?

Diet I.
  Total output—            
Total intake of nitrogen. =379.75 grms.      N. of urine         229.66 grms.
       .5 grm. constant       12.50 „
  Total N. metabolism     =242.16 „
         =63.76 % of N. of diet
         = 9.68 grms. N. per man daily.
Diet II.
  Total output—            
Total intake of nitrogen.=358.80 grms.      N. of urine         210.23 grms.
       .5 grm. per day constant   12.50 „
  Total N. metabolism     =222.73 „
          =62.07 % of N. of diet
          =8.91 grms. of N. per man daily.
Diet III.
  Total output—            
Total intake of nitrogen.=337.95 grms.     N. of urine         206.56 grms.
      .5 grm. per day constant   12.50. „
  Total N. metabolism     =219.06 „
          =64.82 % of N. of diet
          =8.76 grms. N. per man daily.

We, therefore, get the following results:—
