Nitrogen

An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight 14. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.

1.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 03/01/1993 - "Feeding of diet containing insect infested sorghum grains (50 and 75%) resulted in marked decrease in food intake, protein intake, gain in body weight, food efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, nitrogen consumption, nitrogen absorption, biological value, net protein utilization, dry matter digestibility, net protein retention and protein retention efficiency. " 07/01/1988 - "Treatment of rats with recombinant human TNF initially causes a marked decrease in food intake, a loss of body weight, and a negative nitrogen balance. " 02/01/2009 - "The data for dry weight, body mass index, and normalized protein nitrogen appearance, which represent nutritional status, showed a significant improvement while still maintaining a satisfactory albumin level. " 03/01/2005 - "There was a significant interaction between energy level and Dex such that the increase in body catabolism due to 50%E from CHO or FAT was reduced by approximately 50%, although the amount of body weight and nitrogen lost over 7 d was significantly greater with 50%E than with AE. AE+Dex induced a 60% increase in liver mass, whereas 50%E+Dex reduced the increase to 26%. " 12/01/1983 - "This method of nutritional intake allowed us to: maintain body weight at pre-operative values; obtain a positive nitrogen balance on average the sixth postoperative day; reduce the volume of parenteral support, early suspension and a significant reduction in complications connected with this method."
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 03/01/1984 - "In this improved calibration technique total body nitrogen is more accurately measured, not only in normal subjects, but also in obese subjects and in patients with marked changes in hydration, such as cancer patients. " 07/01/1995 - "Seven of the 10 cancer patients were at or above 90% of ideal body weight, and they had a significant improvement in nitrogen balance (-1.46 +/- 0.99 vs. 0.60 +/- 1.03 g/day; P < 0.01). " 08/01/2007 - "Immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen of the tumor specimen resulted in improved vaccine yield. " 01/01/2011 - "Study on the visible-light-induced photokilling effect of nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanoparticles on cancer cells." 05/01/2009 - "Several studies revealed that nitrogen-containing BPs (N-BPs) could inhibit tumor growth and migration, indicating the possibility that N-BPs have direct inhibitory effects. "
3.	Weight Gain 01/01/1986 - "Group II showed the best results with respect to weight gain, nitrogen balance and blood metabolites. " 11/01/2006 - "A meta-analysis of 5 randomized trials indicated improved weight gain (weighted mean difference [WMD] 2.36 g/kg/d; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31-3.40) and higher nitrogen accretion (WMD 143.7 mg/kg/d; 95% CI 128.7-158.8) with high (>or=3.0 g/kg/d but <4.0 g/kg/d) compared with low (<3.0 g/kg/d) protein intakes while other nutrients were kept constant. " 10/01/1985 - "No significant improvement was observed in fat and nitrogen absorption or in weight gain in the 11 infants with less severe malabsorption (coefficient of fat absorption on normal diet greater than 75%). " 01/01/2014 - "Improved weight gain and higher nitrogen accretion were demonstrated in infants receiving formula with higher protein content while other nutrients were kept constant. " 11/01/2006 - "The vast majority of animals have a subclinical or economic level of parasitism undetectable to the eye but quantified more accurately by treatment-induced improved performance (e.g., feed efficiency, nitrogen balance, weight gain, milk production). "
4.	Starvation 01/01/2014 - "The successive sorting and regeneration of the top 25,000 high-lipid content cells of CC124 and sta6-1, combined with nitrogen starvation, led to the generation of a new population with an improved lipid content when compared to the original populations (approximately 175% and 50% lipid increase in sta6-1 and CC124, respectively). " 07/01/2008 - "Nitrogen starvation also reduced significantly the strength of cell adhesion to the soil particles, except for Klebsiella sp. LBBMA 204-1. Two of the four strains showed significant reduction in cell surface hydrophobicity. " 12/10/2015 - "In this work we investigated a novel, one-stage combined cultivation/fermentation strategy including inherently progressing nitrogen starvation conditions to generate improved microalgal biomass substrates. " 12/25/2015 - "These findings implicate plant autophagy in plant stress responses to low nitrogen and drought and should be helpful in efforts to improve stresses resistance to nitrogen starvation and drought of crops by genetic transformation. " 01/01/2015 - "Over-expression generally affected total soluble amino acid concentrations, slightly delayed development, and finally improved the survival upon severe nitrogen starvation. "
5.	Infection 03/15/1996 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of NO in mice during vaccinia virus (VV) or herpes simplex virus type 1 infection, and to assess the role of NO in clearance of VV. Reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI; NO and its stable oxidation products, nitrite and nitrate) were significantly elevated in the plasma of mice infected with these viruses. " 07/01/2015 - "Small intestine double stoma and succus entericus reinfusion are effective in improving the absorption of carbohydrate, fat and nitrogen in the patients with severe intra-abdominal infection." 02/01/2015 - "Net growth benefits of Bradyrhizobium infection varied for Lotus and were reduced or eliminated dependent on Bradyrhizobium genotype, mineral nitrogen and light availability. " 11/01/1989 - "The increased caloric and nitrogen intake and improved nitrogen retention markedly reduced infections and days of stay in the intensive care unit." 01/01/2013 - "Because of its biological functions (i.e., uptake of water and various nutrients; primary site of infection by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes), the root hair cell is an attractive single cell model to study root cell response to various stresses and treatments.
