Which of the following is classified as “conditionally essential amino acid’ ?
Arginine
Amino acids are grouped as essential (indispensable, cannot be made in the body), non-essential (made in adequate amounts) and conditionally essential, which are normally synthesised but must come from the diet when synthesis cannot keep pace, as in infancy, rapid growth, trauma, burns or sepsis.
Arginine is made in the body through the urea cycle, but during growth in infancy and in stress states such as injury and surgery its synthesis is insufficient, so it is the standard example of a conditionally essential amino acid.
Lysine is a fully essential amino acid that the body can never synthesise, so it must always be supplied by the diet and is the limiting amino acid of cereals.
Glycine is ordinarily made in ample amounts from serine and is usually grouped with the non-essential amino acids (only some classifications list it as conditionally indispensable), while taurine is an amino sulphonic acid that is not built into proteins, so arginine remains the standard example of this class.
So the amino acid classified as conditionally essential is arginine.
Hence, Arginine.
