Proline and hydroxyproline metabolism: implications for animal and human nutrition (2010, positive): “Whether proline is a nutritionally essential AA for animals should be reevaluated through careful design of experiments and use of meaningful criteria (including functional needs such as maximal growth performance, fertility, embryonic/fetal survival and growth, and immunity) (Wu 2009).”

Meat nutritional composition and nutritive role in the human diet. (2013, background): “…complex vitamins are water soluble thus some cooking methods may produce higher losses (boiling) and on the other hand, B vitamins are thermally instable thus shorter periods of cooking (stir frying) and underdone roasts may reduce these losses (Lombardi-Boccia et al., 2005; Yang & Science, 1994).”
A Guide to Using Compound-Specific Stable Isotope Analysis to Study the Fates of Molecules in Organisms and Ecosystems (2019, background): “All proteins are made of the same monomers, 20 standard AA, each containing three primary functional groups: an amine (-NH2), a carboxyl (-COOH), and a unique side chain that creates distinct biochemical properties (R-group; [26]).”
Physiological roles of tryptophan in teleosts: current knowledge and perspectives for future studies (2019, background): “Such inconsistencies 133 among dietary tryptophan requirement levels may be due to the fact that tryptophan is a 134 functional amino acid; i.e. tryptophan is required for some other vital processes beyond 135 protein synthesis in fish (Wu, 2009).”
