Aminoácidos - Información general

Información:

Los aminoácidos son compuestos orgánicos que se combinan para formar proteínas. Cuando las proteínas son digeridas, los aminoácidos se acaban. El cuerpo humano requiere de muchos aminoácidos para crecer y para descomponer los alimentos.

Los aminoácidos se clasifican en dos grupos:

  • Aminoácidos esenciales: el cuerpo no los puede producir y tienen que ser suministrados por los alimentos. Estos aminoácidos abarcan: cisteína, lisina y triptófano. Las fuentes de estos aminoácidos esenciales comprenden la leche, el queso, los huevos, ciertas carnes, las verduras, las nueces y los granos.
  • Aminoácidos no esenciales: son producidos por el cuerpo a partir de los aminoácidos esenciales o la descomposición normal de las proteínas y abarcan el ácido aspártico, el ácido glutámico y la glicina.
