Tissue depletion of taurine accelerates skeletal muscle senescence and leads to early death in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is found in milimolar concentrations in mammalian tissues. One of its main functions is osmoregulation; however, it also exhibits cytoprotective activity by diminishing injury caused by stress and disease.

Pharmacological characterization of GABAA receptors in taurine-fed mice [PDF]

, 2010
Background Taurine is one of the most abundant free amino acids especially in excitable tissues, with wide physiological actions. Chronic supplementation of taurine in drinking water to mice increases brain excitability mainly through alterations in the ...

Second‐trimester multimetabolite panel for early preeclampsia rule‐out

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We aimed to establish a high‐sensitivity, multimetabolite rule‐out model for the development of preeclampsia (PE), prioritizing minimizing false negatives to exclude low‐risk individuals from intensive surveillance confidently. Methods In this prospective, nested case–control study, maternal serum samples were collected between 20+0 ...

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Cardiac and skeletal muscle abnormality in taurine transporter-knockout mice

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Taurine, a sulfur-containing β-amino acid, is highly contained in heart and skeletal muscle. Taurine has a variety of biological actions, such as ion movement, calcium handling and cytoprotection in the cardiac and skeletal muscles.

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]

, 1993
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Alterations in brain metabolites in rats with experimental periodontitis: A metabolomic approach

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic effects. Emerging evidence suggests a link between periodontal inflammation and neurological changes, but the biochemical mechanisms in key brain regions, such as the hippocampus and amygdala, remain unclear.

Illuminating cell signaling with genetically encoded FRET biosensors in adult mouse cardiomyocytes. [PDF]

, 2018
FRET-based biosensor experiments in adult cardiomyocytes are a powerful way of dissecting the spatiotemporal dynamics of the complicated signaling networks that regulate cardiac health and disease. However, although much information has been gleaned from

White Adipose Tissue Browning and Cross Talk With Metabolic Diseases and Tumors: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

Med Research, EarlyView.
White adipose tissue undergoes browning under endogenous and exogenous stimuli, primarily regulated by core molecules such as PRDM16 and UCP1. It exhibits a double‐edged sword effect in metabolic diseases and tumors: while mitigating metabolic disease impacts and suppressing early‐stage tumors through nutritional competition, it may accelerate cachexia
