metabolic balance

Etymology: Gk, metabole, change; L, bilanx, having two scale trays

an equilibrium between the intake of nutrients and their eventual loss through absorption or excretion. In a positive balance the intake of a nutrient exceeds its loss; in a negative balance a nutrient is used or excreted faster than it is consumed in the diet.
