  • Ninety-nine infants participated in a trial divided into three groups based on protein content in their diets, and significant increases in certain serum protein levels were observed, particularly with the protein-enriched and high protein-enriched diets.
  • While nitrogen balance improved across all groups, the highest protein intake did not show significant advantages and was linked to higher serum urea levels and hyperuraemia.
