Página 34 - Boiled and roasted flesh is converted at once into blood ; while the uric acid and urea are derived from the metamorphosed tissues. The quantity of these products increases with the rapidity of transformation in a given time, but bears no proportion to the amount of food taken in the same period. In a starving man, who is any way compelled to undergo severe and continued exertion, more urea is secreted than in the most highly fed individual, if in a state of rest.

They further go on to state that, so far from the oxidation of albuminous substances being the only source of muscular power, ' the substances by the burning of which force is generated in the muscles are not the albuminous constituents of those tissues, but non-nitrogenous substances, either fats or hydrates of carbon,' and...

He accordingly comes to the conclusion that "the exercise of muscular power immediately involves the. destruction of a certain amount of muscular substance, of which the nitrogen excreted is a measure.
