Taurine and proliferation of lymphocytes in physically restrained rats

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Background Taurine is present in lymphocytes and seems to modulate certain immune cell functions. Among the effects of taurine on these cells are protection against antioxidants and regulation of inflammatory aspects of the immune response.

Optimization of novel compounds using computer‐aided drug design for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Loss‐of‐function mutations of the voltage‐gated Kv7.1 (KCNQ/KCNE1) channels lead to cardiac arrhythmia such as long QT syndrome, characterized by a prolonged QT interval . One strategy to correct the prolonged QT interval is to design molecules that activate KCNQ1/KCNE1 channels and restore the QT interval.

Taurine effects on cell proliferation and gene expression of apoptosis and oxidative stress in broiler satellite cells under heat stress

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
This study aimed to investigate the effects of taurine on broiler embryonic muscle-derived satellite cells under heat stress. Satellite cells were extracted from the leg muscle of 18-day-old broiler embryos and cultured under two different temperature ...

Comparative Study of Laboratory Diets for Piophila casei: Beneficial Effects of Infant Formula Supplementation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The infant formula‐based diet (F), the whole powder milk diet (P), and dry‐cured ham (H) were evaluated for rearing Piophila casei. H accelerated development, promoted earlier reproduction, and achieved the highest demographic performance but showed practical limitations linked to substrate deterioration. F enhanced larval survival and adult longevity,

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

1H NMR metabolomics and lipidomics analysis of neutrophils reveals biomarkers of ageing, inflammageing and frailty

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using 1H NMR metabolomics, we measured polar and lipid metabolites from human blood neutrophils from people with frailty (n = 31, mean age 84Y), people with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 16, mean age 55Y), robust older (n = 24, mean age 66Y) and healthy younger people (n = 21, mean age 22Y).

Separate mechanisms regulating accumbal taurine levels during baseline conditions and following ethanol exposure in the rat

Scientific Reports
Ethanol-induced dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (nAc) is associated with reward and reinforcement, and for ethanol to elevate nAc dopamine levels, a simultaneous increase in endogenous taurine is required within the same brain region.

Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle.

TAURINE AND THE CARDIAC SARCOLEMMA. [PDF]

, 1987
Taurine is by far the most abundant of the sulfur amino acids, levels in the heart exceeding the combined quantities of all others. Taurine exhibits extensive cardiovascular pharmacology, including inotropic and antiarrhythmic properties.
