Acute effect of a soy protein-rich meal-replacement application on renal parameters in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Soy protein is used for meal replacement therapy in obesity, however the influence on renal function parameters is not adequately investigated. This study evaluates glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) in patients with the metabolic syndrome and healthy controls after ingestion of different amounts of soy protein.
