Answer
Hi Robert,



Thanks for asking my help on "Allexperts".



Vegetable protein is not high biological value. You can eat all the vegetable protein you want.



Studies in humans indicate that an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be induced by animal protein and by amino acid mixtures; in comparison, vegetable protein and egg whites alone produce little or no effect. Why the latter sources of protein have little hemodynamic activity is not clear, but lower concentrations of the amino acids that cause renal vasodilatation (such as glycine and alanine) and lesser stimulation of vasodilator prostaglandins may be involved.



Sincerely,



Dr. shah
