title: Is histidine essential for the adult man? A review.
abstract: Recent experimental observations as well as theoretical considerations suggest that histidine may be an essential amino acid for the adult man. In this paper, an up-to-date review of the literature on the essentiality of histidine is presented. Some practical implications of the indispensability of this amino acid in the human diet are also discussed.
