Wear rate

In biology, the attrition rate describes the sum of the losses of the body's own substances and building materials through general wear and tear or the death of entire cells and through the deposition of substances by cells, more precisely the nitrogen loss of an organism without protein absorption. Some of these substances are fed back into the structure (endogenous replacement), the additional replacement must be taken from the nutrients (exogenous replacement). The term was coined in 1908 by Max Rubner .
