    In a large sample of adults of all ages and both sexes, the figure for water fraction by weight was found to be 48 ±6% for females and 58 ±8% water for males. [8] Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent , and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to ...

    The adult male body is about 60% total body water content of some 42 litres (9.2 imp gal; 11 US gal). This is made up of about 19 litres (4.2 imp gal; 5.0 US gal) of extracellular fluid including about 3.2 litres (0.70 imp gal; 0.85 US gal) of blood plasma and about 8.4 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.2 US gal) of interstitial fluid , and about 23 ...

    4 (NH 2) 2 CO + 6 NO 2 → 7 N 2 + 8 H 2 O + 4 CO 2 and (NH 2) 2 CO + NO + NO 22 N 2 + 2 H 2 O + CO 2. The ratio between NO 2 and NO determines which reactions take place and how fast. The highest conversion rates are achieved if equal amounts of NO 2 and NO are present, especially at temperatures

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

    The plasma total calcium concentration is in the range of 2.22.6 mmol/L (9–10.5 mg/dL), and the normal ionized calcium is 1.3–1.5 mmol/L (4.5–5.6 mg/dL). [4] The amount of total calcium in the blood varies with the level of plasma albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, and therefore the main carrier of protein-bound calcium in the blood.
