title: [Taurine in pediatric nutrition].
abstract: Taurine was long considered as an end product of the metabolism od sulfur-containing amino-acids. A number of evidences accumulated in the last decade which suggest one major nutritional role of taurine and its conditional essentiality in man are presented. Some conditions associated with taurine deficiency in man and the need for dietary provision of taurine in infancy and in such conditions are discussed.
