 Animal Versus Plant Protein Meals in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes and Microalbuminuria (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/24/2002 | Hits: 8 |
| From the Indiana University and the journal Diabetes Care, 2002: These researchers from the school of medicine studied the effects of eating animal protein versus eating plant proteins on diabetic subjects who had too much of the protein albumin in their urine (an indicator of reduced kidney function). The researchers found there were no significant differences between the two diets on kidney function. They also noted that total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, glucose levels, insulin levels, blood pressure, or the level of amino acids in the blood remained unchanged on the animal protein diet. In both diets, total cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure fell. They concluded that there is no clear advantage in recommending only plant proteins to people who have diabetes and reduced kidney function. |
