The ability of various animal proteins to enhance the absorption of dietary nonheme Fe was evaluated by performing multiple 59Fe or 55Fe absorption measurements in 70 volunteer subjects. Protein equivalent substitutions of 9 animal foods were made in 2 basic test meals. The 1st was a standard meal of high Fe availability (mean absorption, 8.3%) containing beef muscle as the animal protein. The 2nd was a semisynthetic meal of low Fe availability (mean absorption, 1.4%) containing ovalbumin as the protein source. Two categories of animal protein were defined. Substitution of beef, lamb, pork liver, fish, and chicken for the egg ovalbumin in the sannisynthetic meal resulted in a significant, 2-fold to 4-fold increase in Fe absorption whereas no increase was observed with milk, cheese or egg. Reciprocal findings were obtained when these foods were substituted for the beef contained in the standard meal.
