  • The nutritional value of legumes in a balanced diet depends on the antagonism between protein metabolism in digestive tissues and in muscles
    Pirman, Tatjana ...
    Legume seeds have nutritional and worldwide commercial importance because theyare easy to store and rich in protein, fibre and minerals. Cooked beans and cooked lentils were used as a unique source ... of protein in experimental balanced diets for young rats. The legume diets resulted in high N faecal excretion and consequently in low digestibility. Protein synthesis rates in the intestinal tissues were increased by legume feeding. The effect was more pronounced by bean feeding and the large intestine. On the contrary, legume feeding significantly decreased protein synthesis rates in skeletal muscles.
