Protein intake, XXXX balance and health consequences.

@entity2101 ( @entity2101 ) diets exert a @entity12233 effect at constant levels of @entity460 intake, even though the effect may depend on the nature of the dietary protein. Lower urinary pH is also consistently observed for subjects consuming @entity2101 diets. The combination of these two effects was suspected to be associated with a dietary environment favorable for demineralization of the skeleton. However, increased @entity460 excretion due to @entity2101 diet does not seem to be linked to impaired @entity460 balance. In contrast, some data indicate that @entity2101 intakes induce an increase of intestinal @entity460 absorption. Moreover, no clinical data support the hypothesis of a detrimental effect of @entity2101 diet on bone health, except in a context of inadequate @entity460 supply. In addition, @entity2101 promotes bone growth and retards @entity604 and low-protein diet is associated with higher risk of @entity173 . The increase of acid and @entity460 excretion due to @entity2101 diet is also accused of constituting a favorable environment for @entity1290 and @entity8 . However, in healthy subjects, no damaging effect of @entity2101 diets on kidney has been found in either observational or interventional studies and it seems that @entity2101 diets might be deleterious only in @entity1 with preexisting metabolic @entity8 . Thus, @entity2101 diet does not seem to lead to @entity460 @entity604 , and the role of protein seems to be complex and probably dependent on other dietary factors and the presence of other nutrients in the diet.
