Maltose-Einheit Explanation: I found "Maltose-Einheit" ('maltose equivalent' in English), which is in effect "Malzzucker", mainly in beer and bread. The problem is, I'm not quite sure about the context. If this "Malzzucker" or "Maltose Einheiten" was used in terms of chicken feed, it would make sense. Would need some more context though to be sure. Kind regards |

Nutzung der [verfügbaren] Stoffwechselenergie / Stoffwechselenergienutzung Explanation: Or, to be short: yes (as an answer to your question) -- maybe rather "metabolizable energy" (see first ref) I know of no German abbreviations. It seems the sentence refers to the fact that only part of the energy obtained from catabolic processes can be stored in the form of ATP, and then used e.g. for the biosynthesis of molecules or, say, for muscular contraction. The rest of the energy cannot be "used" but is released as heat. That percentage of metabolic energy that can be "used", is referred to as "Wirkungsgrad" or "Nutzwert". [see Löffler/Petrides: Physiologische Chemie, 4.Aufl.; Berlin, 1990: Springer (S. 314)] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-21 00:22:28 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Wirkungsgrad\", or \"Nutzwert\", I forgot to say, being the translation of \"efficiency\".
