Popis: Essential amino acids, now called indispensable amino acids (IAA) are not synthesized by the body, and have therefore to be supplied from an exogenous source. IAA requirements as set out in 1985 by the FAO/WHO/UNU have been challenged by the data derived from the application of obligatory nitrogen loss measurement technique and the stable isotope tracer amino acid technique. These measurements suggest that IAA requirement in adults may be between two to three times the requirements set out in the 1985 FAQ/WHO/UNU recommendations.
