Protein and Amino Acid Metabolism in Three- to Twelve-Month-Old Infants Fed Human Milk or Formulas with Varying Protein Concentrations

Abstract

Many indexes of protein metabolism were similar in groups F13, B, and M, particularly at 6 months. In contrast, the provision of a formula with 18 g/l of protein resulted in a different metabolic pattern, which could indicate unnecessarily high protein intakes.
