Protein intake has been shown to raise the glomerular filtration rate, and recently Bosch et al have used this property to establish the maximal renal filtration capacity (that is, the peak of glomerular filtration rate following an acute protein load). The difference between peak and baseline glomerular filtration rate has been called the renal reserve. Since vegetarians have been shown to exhibit a lower baseline glomerular filtration rate, it may be asked if all dietary proteins share the same potency to raise the filtration rate. The present study compares, in healthy subjects, the effects of red cooked meat and of a dietetic preparation with an equivalent amount of protein but with another distribution of amino acids
