How is the aging animal different in its general nutrient use?
What will be an ideal response?
Aging animals generally have reduced total requirements for nutrients, even at the same body weight, as the metabolic rate slowly decreases over time. So as the energy needs slowly decline, this means the animal must either consume less, or consume a diet with less energy yielding components in it. Muscle protein turnover slows, and the ability of the kidney to synthesize and excrete the by-products of amino acid metabolism normally declines with age.
