abstract = {Different dietary protein sources can promote different renal statuses. We examined the effects of whey protein
(WP) and soy protein (SP) intake on plasma, urinary, and morphological renal parameters in rats. One hundred and twenty
Wistar rats were randomly distributed into 2 experimental groups fed with either WP or SP diets over 12 weeks. These diets
were based on commercial WP or SP isolates. The urinary calcium content was higher in the WP diet compared to the SP diet
group (P < .001) whereas the urinary citrate level was lower (P < .001). The urinary pH was more acidic in the WP diet group
compared to the SP diet group (P < .001); however, no differences were observed between the groups for any of the renal
morphological parameters analyzed (all, P > .05) or other plasma renal markers such as albumin or urea concentrations. The
increase of acid and urinary calcium and the lower urinary citrate level observed in the WP diet group could increase the
incidence of nephrolithiasis compared to the SP diet group. Despite the WP showed poorer acid-base profile, no significant
morphological renal changes were observed. These results suggest that the use of SP instead of WP appears to promote a more
alkaline plasma and urinary pro le, with their consequent renal advantages.},
