The effects of casein and soybean protein on magnesium absorption and magnesium concentration in the femur were investigated in rats. Purified diets contain either casein or soybean protein and three concentrations of added magnesium (0.82, 1.64 or 2.46 mmol/100 g diet) were used. The isonitrogenous diets were carefully balanced for the different mineral concentrations in the protein preparations. Absolute and percent magnesium absorption and urinary magnesium excretion were significantly decreased in rats fed soybean protein when compared with casein, irrespective of the dietary concentration of added magnesium. The magnesium content of femur was significantly lower in rats fed soybean protein, but this effect was seen only when the diet contained 0.82 mmol magnesium/100 g diet. The addition of sodium phytate to the casein diets, to a concentration identical to that in the diets containing soybean protein as provided by the soybean protein preparation, produced similar effects on magnesium absorption as the diets containing soybean protein. These results indicate that soybean protein, when compared with casein, decreases magnesium absorption through its phytate component.
