In order to solve a problem, I need to know some typical value of the absorption rate of proteins (amino acids) in carnivores. Can you give some typical value for this? If the answer is in nmom min-1 cm-2, then good. But other units will also do. Just let me know the value with units and I will do the conversion. If you can refer me to some relevant table in Internet, then that would be very good. Thanks.

Absorption rates of amino acids from the gut can vary from 1.4 g/h for raw egg white to 8 to 10 g/h for whey protein isolate. Slowly absorbed amino acids suchas casein (~ 6 g/h) and repeated small doses of whey protein (2.9 g per 20 min, totaling ~ 7 g/h) promote leucine balance, a marker of protein balance, superior tothat of a single dose of 30 g of whey protein or free amino acids which are both rapidly absorbed (8 to 10 g/h), and enhance amino acid oxidation.
