Resumen: | Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a conditionally essential amino acid. While it can be synthesized by healthy adults from methionine and cysteine and it can be absorbed from foods (generally skeletal muscle) that contain it, preterm infants and children on taurine-free diets have less taurine in their blood plasma because they have not developed the capacity to synthesize it. One effect of taurine deficiency is retinal dysfunction. |
