- Abstract
The article discusses effects of the protein content of the diet on the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats. The experiments confirmed that rats fed larger amounts of casein developed less severe nephrocalcinosis than those fed the basal diet. Additional gluten appeared to be as effective as additional casein in lessening mineral deposition. The present study thus demonstrated that nephrocalcinosis in rats may be considerably reduced by dietary supplements of protein, S-amino acids or ammonium sulphate, which are thought to acidify the urine.
