“…The data obtained indicated that feeding animals with legumes as protein sources resulted in growth retardation compared to control animals o †ered casein. This agrees with other reports (eg Marcos et al 1994 ;Rubio et al 1995). This failure to sustain growth could be due either to the presence of antinutritional factors that interfere with digestion and absorption processes, to the impaired amino acid composition of the legume protein (Liener 1994 ;Barnes et al 1995), or the chemical structure of the proteins (Rubio et al 1995).…”

“…This did not produce total removal of the antinutritional factor, but led to positive e †ects in terms of lower increase in the intestine weight. These alterations in the weights of several organs and tissues have been described previously in several animal models with di †erent legumes (Marcos et al 1994 ;Mart• nez et al 1995a,b ;. The FBPI did cause less undesirable e †ects on the organ weights within the assayed protein isolates and, as compared to the original seeds, the protein isolate procedure reduced some of the deleterious e †ects of legume seed consumption.…”

“…These reductions have been ascribed to the presence of antinutritional factors in the legume seeds (Marcos et al 1994 ;Mart• nez et al 1995a,b) and the reduced capacity to utilise the nutrients by the animals (Liener 1994). Small intestine weight was increased.…”

Three legume seeds, peas (Pisum sativum L), faba bean (Vicia faba L) and soybean (Glycine max L) and their respective protein isolates, were assayed for their nutritional value and metabolic effects. Feeding rats with either the legume seeds or the protein isolates resulted in an impairment in growth and significantly lower nutritional indices as compared to the control group. Protein apparent digestibility improved in the protein isolate fed rats, with similar digestibility data to those observed in the casein fed group. Liver, gastrocnemius muscle and spleen weights were decreased by legume consumption, and the enlargement detected in the small intestine weight in the animals fed on the legume seeds, was partially reversed in the animals receiving the protein isolate. This reversal was significant in rats offered faba bean protein isolate. Biochemical parameters were consistent in the legume groups, and hypoglycaemic and hypotriacylglycaemic responses were observed for the legume meals. Lower uric acid levels were found in some of the legume fed animals. Serum free amino acid profiles were affected by the legume intake, as compared with casein. Methionine and taurine concentrations decreased, whereas serine concentrations were augmented. Other amino acids, particularly glycine and valine, also showed modified plasma concentrations. These results suggest that the preparation of protein isolates, following an easy protocol, yield products with better digestibility, which keep the positive effects on glucose and triacylglyceride plasma levels, and partially reduce some other undesirable consequences related to legume consumption. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Beans are well recognized hypocholesterolemic agents, and they may also promote antiproliferative effects from hormonal regulation. 48 We can reiterate the high calcium intake from the lime-treated maize tradition. Osteoporosis, hypertension and colon cancer would be among the chronic infirmities mitigated by life-long, major calcium ingestion.…”
