In order to study the relationships between the contents of urinary nitrogenous compounds and energy utilization of bird, the sum of nitrogen contents of uric acid, ammonia, creatine and urea voided in excreta was estimated as the urinary nitrogen (UN) in 13-33 day-old fed or fasted White Leghorn male chicks. Energy retention and heat production of birds were determined by comparative slaughter studies. 2.75 mg of endogenous urinary nitrogen (EUn) and 2.19 mg of uric acid was excreted constantly per kJ heat production in fasted bird. One mg of UN was proportionated to 32.26 J (r = 0.999, n = 8) of the urinary energy (UE) in fed and 32.97 J (r = 0.9998, n = 8) of the endogenous urinary energy (UEn) in the fasted bird. Also relationships between 1 mg of uric acid and 38.95 J of UE (r = 0.998, n = 8) or 38.97 J of UEe (r = 0.996, n = 8) were significant (p<0.01). The EUn (r = 0.997, n = 4), uric acid (r = 0.995, n = 4) and metabolic fecal energy (FEm) plus UEe (r = 0.961, n = 4) were increased with the increase of body weight (g/bird). Metabolic fecal nitrogen (MFn) or energy (FEm), EUn and UEe per unit diet were not influenced by the age of day or body weight. The results indicated that energy and protein utilization of bird can be approximated by the relationships among urinary nitrogen, urinary energy, uric acid content in excreta and body weight of bird.

성형목탄가루 함유사료(CPD)를 급여한 밝은 대조에 비해서 분질소(FN)는 유의하게 (P＜0.05)많이 요질소(UN)는 유의하게(P＜0.05) 낮게 배설하였다. 단백질 소화율은 88∼92％였으며 대조에 비해서 CPD를 급여하면 유의하게(P＜0.05) 낮아졌으나 목초액 또는 양조식초의 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. 총질소섭취량(NI)에 대한 요질소(UN/NI)와 흡수질소(AN)에 대한 요질소(UN/AN)의 비율은 대조에 비해서 CPD를 급여하면 유의하게 (P＜0.05) 낮아지나, 이에 비해서 목초액 함유사료(PWV)에서는 높아지는 경향이 있고 양조식초 함유사료(PFA)에서는 유의하게 (P＜0.05) 높았다. 총질소 섭취량에 대한 요산태 질소(UAN/NI) 및 UAN/AN도 대조에 비해서 CPD를 급여하면 유의하게 낮아지나, 이에 비해서 PWV에서는 높아지는 경향이 있고 PFA에서는 유의하게 (P＜0.05) 높아졌다. 그러나 총질소 또는 흡수된 질소에 대한 암모니아태 질소율은 대조에 비해서 실험사료를 급여하면 일반적으로 높아지는 경향이 있었고 PPA에서는 유의하게(P＜0.05) 높았고, 크레아틴 및 요소태 질소의 배설은 실험사료의 영향이 관찰되지 않았다. 에너지 소화율(DE/GE)은 80∼84％로 실험사료 사이에 유의차가 발견되지 않았으나, 대사율(ME/GE또는 MEn/GE)은 대조사료를 급여한 것에 비해서 CPD및 V를 급여하면 높아지는 경향이 있었고 PFA를 급여한 것에서는 낮아지는 경향이 있었다. 한편 ME/GE는 PFA를 급여한 것에 비해서 PWV를 급여한 것에서 유의하게 (P＜0.05) 높았고, MEn/GE는 PFA를 급여한 것에 비해서 대조 및 CPD를 급여한 것에서 유의하게 (P＜0.05) 높았다. 이러한 대사율의 변화에 미치는 분에너지의 비율은 실험사료에 관계없이 16∼23％가 되었고, 요에너지는 2.3∼3.0％로 적었다. 그러나 대사율에 미치는 실험 사료의 영향은 분에너지의 변화보다는 주로 요에너지 변화에 기인하였고 요에너지 변화는 주로 요산에너지의 변화에 기인한다는 것이 관찰되었다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To date, sodium intake has been evaluated based on spot urine instead of 24-hour (hr) urine collection. Nevertheless, the optimal method for assessing daily sodium intake remains unclear. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Fifteen male (age 32.7 ± 6.5 years) participants were offered 3 meals with a total of 9-10 g salt over 24 hours, and 24-hr urine was collected from the second-void urine of the first day to the first-void urine of the second day. Twenty-four-hr urinary sodium (24UNa) was estimated using Tanaka's equation and the Korean formula, and spot urine Na, potassium (K), chloride (Cl), urea nitrogen (UN), creatinine (Cr), specific gravity (SG) and osmolality (Osm) were measured. The ratios of urinary Na to other parameters were calculated, and correlations with total measured 24UNa were identified. RESULTS: Average 24-hr urine volume was 1,403 ± 475 mL, and measured 24UNa was 143.9 ± 42.1 mEq (range, 87.1-239.4 mEq). Measured 24UNa was significantly correlated with urinary Na/UN (r = 0.560, P < 0.01), urinary Na/Osm (r = 0.510, P < 0.01), urinary Na/Cr (r = 0.392, P < 0.01), urinary Na/K (r = 0.290, P < 0.01), 24UNa estimated using Tanaka's equation (r = 0.452, P < 0.01) and the Korean formula (r = 0.414, P < 0.01), age (r = 0.548, P < 0.01), weight (r = 0.497, P < 0.01), and height (r = 0.393, P < 0.01) in all spot urine samples. Estimated 24UNa based on the second-void spot urine of the first day tended to be more closely correlated with measured 24UNa than were estimates from the other spot urine samples. The significant parameters correlated with the second-void urine of the first day were urinary Na/K (r = 0.647, P < 0.01), urinary Na/Cr (r = 0.558, P < 0.05), and estimated 24UNa using Tanaka's equation (r = 0.616, P < 0.05) and the Korean formula (r = 0.588, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Second-void urine is more reliable than first-void urine for estimating 24UNa. Urinary Na/K in the second-void urine on the first day is significantly correlated with 24UNa. Further studies are needed to establish the most reliable index and the optimal time of urine sampling for predicting 24UNa.
