Minimal requirements for tryptophan, arginine and histidine of eleven 10- to 12-year-old boys were estimated by using the N balance method. Urinary excretion of creatine, creatinine, riboflavin and N-MNA was also measured. All children maintained a constant body weight and positive N balance without any accompanying clinical symptoms throughout the periods of arginine and histidine deprivation. All children maintained a positive balance at a level of 0.12 g of tryptophan, but some of them could not maintain a positive balance at the level of 0.06 g. The results obtained in all of our experiments with 10 amino acids in children are summarized.
