Protein and Lactation

Question	Answer
True or False: The concentration of protein in human milk is influenced by diet or body composition	False - concentrations of protein in human milk protein is not influenced by diet or body composition
How much protein intake is needed to promote the conservation of skeletal muscle to maintain good milk production during lactation	1.1 g/kg body weight/day
Protein requirements during lactation are determined by	the factorial approach, the process of lactation does not alter the maintenance protein requirement, and that protein and/or AA requirements increases in proportion to milk production
True or False: Protein turnover is altered during lactation	False, there is no indication of this
True or False: Protein lost in milk must be supported	False
Protein required for milk production can come from	either the diet and if not then from the skeletal muscle
Human milk has relatively high concentrations of ______ substances	non-protein nitrogenous substances
additional protein requirement for lactation is defined as	the output of total protein and nonprotein nitrogen in milk
Quantitatively important non-protein nitrogen component of milk is	Urea
To convert non-protein nitrogenous substances to protein, a factor of ____ is used	6.25
The cost of making protein for maintenance requirements is the same as that for	Growth and lactation
Protein requirements during lactation are ____ compared to nonlactating	increased
