Net Protein Utilization (NPU) is a metric used to assess the quality of dietary protein by measuring the efficiency with which the body utilizes it for protein synthesis. It is used in nutrition science to evaluate the quality of dietary protein sources.
NPU is calculated by comparing the amount of protein consumed to the amount of protein retained in the body.
A higher NPU value indicates that a greater proportion of the protein consumed is effectively utilized by the body for protein synthesis.
