Pediatrics, 1989
In a recent commentary, Perlman called for further study of the effects of taurine and expressed reservations about our randomized trial of taurine supplementation for infants weighing ≤1300 g at birth. We agree with the need for further investigation but would like to respond to his criticism that our sampling of patients was biased and that our ...

Epilepsy Research, 2013
Dysfunction of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters or neuromodulators is thought to underlie epileptic symptoms. Taurine, 2-aminoethanesulfonate, is a ubiquitous free amino acid abounding in the brain of humans and most animal species. It hyperpolarizes neurons and inhibits their firing.

Taurine and taurine-deficiency in the perinatal period
Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2002Taurine, a non-protein sulfur amino-acid, is the most abundant free amino-acid in the body and plays an important role in several essential biological processes. Apart from its role in cholesterol degradation, it acts as neurotransmitter, and has a function as osmoregulator and antioxidant in most body tissues.

Glutamyl‐Taurine Is the Predominant Synaptic Taurine Peptide
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1985Abstract: Several taurine‐containing peptides have been identified from trichloracetic acid extracts of synaptosomes and their subcellular vesicles prepared from calf brain. These peptides contain aspartic and glutamic acids, serine and taurine, and are often present in an N‐acetylated form. The peptides were isolated as single spots by TLC.

Effects of taurine in glucose and taurine administration
Amino Acids, 2004Taurine has several biological processes such as hypoglycemic action, antioxidation, detoxification, etc. To assess the effect of taurine administration on the guinea pigs with hyperglycemia, blood glucose, C-peptide levels together with morphologic alterations in the pancreatic ultrastructure were investigated in terms of hypoglycemic action and ...

Kynureninase is the most important enzyme in tryptophan metabolism. In the main pathway of tryptophan metabolism, kynureninase forms 3-OH-anthranilic acid from 3-OH-kynurenine. In this reaction vitamin B6 is a co-enzyme. An important relationship between -SH groups and liver kynureninase apoenzyme has been reported by Takeuchi8, 9 and Izuta1.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1991
The evidence presented, together with the lack of solid evidence for a specific receptor site, strongly suggests that taurine does not act as a traditional neurotransmitter in the CNS. In fact, the properties seen to be governing its efflux from both glial cells and neurons argue strongly in favor of a primary role in volume regulation.

Taurine deficiency in the kitten subcellular distribution of taurine and [35S]taurine in brain
Neurochemical Research, 1978Taurine concentration decreases rapidly in the tissues and physiological fluids of kittens fed a diet of partially purified casein which lacks taurine. We have studied the subcellular distribution in cerebrum of taurine and [35S]taurine administered intravenously to these animals.

Brain Research Reviews, 1991
The status and potential functions of taurine in the retina have been reviewed. Taurine is present in high concentrations in the retina of all species tested, while the retinal concentrations of the enzymes necessary to synthesize taurine are presumed to vary among those species. The documented low activity of cysteinesulfinic acid decarboxylase, a key
