The effect of energy on nitrogen balance was examined in young men given amino acid mixture. The minimum amino acid nitrogen requirement for nitrogen equilibrium was determined together with the egg protein requirement. In experiment 1, the nitrogen sparing effect of energy was evaluated in four male students receiving diet containing an amino acid mixture and a constant nitrogen intake of 3.5gN/day, which was equivalent to the nitrogen requirement with excess energy intake determined by Rose and Wixom (1). When the dietary energy supply was 45kcal/kg, which is approximately the maintenance level, the mean nitrogen balance was negative, being -23.9±9.3mg N/kg. However, with an excess energy intake of 55kcal/kg, the nitrogen balance improved significantly, being -6.1±7.7mg N/kg. In experiment 2, the nitrogen requirement of egg-pattern amino acid mixture for apparently zero balance was evaluated at maintenance energy intake in 28 Japanese young men and was compared with that of egg protein. After receiving standard diet, the subjects were given a semi-purified experimental diet containing egg-pattern amino acid mixture at nitrogen intake levels of 60, 75, 100, and 130mg N/kg for two weeks. Then all groups except the 60mg N/kg group were given isonitrogenous egg protein diet for another week. Energy intake was kept constant at approximately the maintenance level of 44.4±1.4 kcal/kg throughout the experiment. Nitrogen balance was not significantly different in groups given egg-pattern amino acid mixture and intact egg protein in each nitrogen intake level. From regression analysis, the nitrogen requirement for nitrogen equilibrium of the amino acid mixture was calculated to be 110.1±50.2mg N/kg, which was not significantly different from the value of 88.4±40.6mg N/kg of egg protein. It was concluded that the total amino acid requirement estimated by Rose and Wixom (1) was too low because they gave excess energy, and that there was no difference between the nitrogen requirement of egg protein and that of the corresponding amino acid mixture.
