The Effect of Soy Products in The Diet on Retention of Non-Heme Iron From Radiolabeled Test Meals Fed to Marginally Iron-Deficient Young Rats

Diets based either on casein or soy products and containing about 25 ppm iron were fed to weanling rats for 13 days. Rats were fasted overnight and fed a ('59)Fe-radiolabeled casein test meal the morning of day 14. On day 21 less ('59)Fe was retained by rats fed various diets based on selected soy products than by rats fed the casein-based diet. A similar adverse effect of diet components on ('59)Fe retention from a casein test meal was observed for lactalbumin and for psyllium husk. No adverse effect of diet on ('59)Fe retention was observed for the fiber of soy cotyledons or for rapeseed protein concentrate.
