Human nitrogen balanceFig. Nitrogen balance is controlled by the free amino acid pool; Note: this nitrogen homeostasis is not a real 'stasis' but effectively experiences a high, but stable turn-over rate known as steady state equi-but stable turnover rate known as steady state equilibrium; the cycle between excreted and dietary N is of course closed by metabolism of microorganisms and plants.
