Abstract

Lysine requirements of well-nourished children from developing regions have been found to be similar to those of children from developed regions (33.5 mg · kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹). However, intestinal parasites have been shown to increase lysine requirements in undernourished adults, and it is not known if a similar phenomenon occurs in undernourished children from poor and unsanitary environments. Our objective was to measure the lysine requirement of moderately undernourished school-aged Indian children by the indicator amino acid oxidation technique before and after successful treatment for intestinal parasites. Twenty-one undernourished school-aged children (∼8 y of age) with z scores between -2 SD and -3 SD for height-for-age or weight-for-age, who tested positive for intestinal parasites, were studied before and after successful antiparasite treatment. Children were fed any 2 of 7 levels of lysine intakes (5, 15, 25, 35, 50, 65, and 80 mg · kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹) in random order. The lysine requirement was determined by applying a 2-phase linear regression crossover analysis on the fractional oxidation rate of the tracer L-[1-¹³C] phenylalanine in response to the graded lysine intakes. The lysine requirement of undernourished children with inte...Continue Reading
