Whole-body protein turnover in humans fed a soy protein-rich vegetable diet

Article Abstract:

Young adults who ingested 1.3 g/kg/day of either animal protein-rich diet or a soy protein-rich diet did not reveal a significant difference in the level of protein turnover. Whole-body protein turnover was estimated in the fed state using the glycine test at the end of the two-week controlled diet period. The results have suggested that properly processed soy protein is fully capable of meeting human amino acid and nitrogen needs.
