Changes in murine physiology and nitrogen metabolism on a LPD.

<p>Differences in (A) body weight (n = 5 in NPD group, n = 10 in LPD group), (B) % fat mass, (C) % lean mass, and (D) serum urea concentrations between NPD-fed and LPD-fed mice. (E) Fecal urea and (F) fecal ammonia levels at baseline on the NPD and after placement on the LPD. Values represent mean ± SEM. Statistical significance in body weight determined by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures; statistical significance in other parameters determined by paired and unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
