Placental release of taurine to both the maternal and fetal circulations in human term pregnancies [PDF]

, 2018
Taurine is regarded as an essential amino acid in utero, and fetal taurine supply is believed to rely solely on placental transfer from maternal plasma.

Seven days of oral taurine supplementation does not increase muscle taurine content or alter substrate metabolism during prolonged exercise in humans [PDF]

, 2008
This study examined 1) the plasma taurine response to acute oral taurine supplementation (T), and 2) the effects of 7 days (d) of T on muscle amino acid content and substrate metabolism during 2 hr of cycling at ~60% VO2peak.

Deterioration of Traditional Dietary Custom Increases the Risk of Lifestyle-Related Diseases in Young Male Africans. [PDF]

, 2010
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is rapidly increasing worldwide. To investigate the spread of MS risks and its relationship with eating habits including fish intake, we carried out a health examination for young and middle-aged men.

Taurine: a promising nutraceutic in the prevention of retinal degeneration

Neural Regeneration Research
Taurine is considered a non-essential amino acid because it is synthesized by most mammals. However, dietary intake of taurine may be necessary to achieve the physiological levels required for the development, maintenance, and function of certain tissues.

Taurine provides neuroprotection against retinal ganglion cell degeneration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration occurs in numerous retinal diseases leading to blindness, either as a primary process like in glaucoma, or secondary to photoreceptor loss.

Regulation of taurine transport at the blood-placental barrier by calcium ion, PKC activator and oxidative stress conditions

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Background In the present study, we investigated the changes of uptake and efflux transport of taurine under various stress conditions using rat conditionally immortalized syncytiotrophoblast cell line (TR-TBT cells), as in vitro blood-placental barrier (

Taurine [PDF]

Hypertension, 2009
Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid (Figure), has been termed a functional nutrient that could be used to protect against, among others, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis.1 Indeed, an increasing body of literature supports the use of taurine supplements.

The evolution of tropical adaptation: Comparing taurine and zebu cattle [PDF]

, 2010
Beef cattle breeds consist of three major genetic subdivisions. The taurine group is adapted to temperate environments, and the zebu and Sanga groups are both adapted to tropical environments.

Taurine ameliorates cellular senescence associated with an increased hydrogen sulfide and a decreased hepatokine, IGFBP-1, in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in mice

Redox Biology
This study investigated the protective effects of taurine against cellular senescence and hepatokine secretion in a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced chronic liver injury.

Neurochemical Endpoints to Inform Early‐Stage Trials of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 2 and 3 in a Multisite Setting

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurochemical levels measured by brain MR spectroscopy (MRS) have been proposed as endpoints for clinical trials in early‐stage spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) trials. We tested their trial‐readiness by quantifying neurochemicals in three affected brain regions in early‐stage cohorts of SCA2 and SCA3, examining their reproducibility in ...
