8 Taurine
This chapter reviews the occurrence, distribution, metabolism, transport, and actions of the simple sulphur‐containing nonproteinaceous amino acid taurine. It is a ubiquitous constituent of virtually all animal cells, particularly enriched in the electrically excitable cells of the nervous system, retina, heart, and muscles. Taurine is present in both neuronal and glial cells, exhibiting modera...
متن کاملTaurine concentrations in animal feed ingredients; cooking influences taurine content.
The aim of this study was to determine the taurine content in a variety of animal feeds. There is very little information on the taurine content of ingredients used in home-prepared diets for dogs and cats, and foods fed to wild animals in captivity. This study reports the taurine content of both common and alternative feed ingredients, and compares taurine loss as a result of different methods...
متن کاملRenal transport of taurine adapts to perturbed taurine homeostasis.
Renal adaptation apparently contributes to the homeostasis of taurine, a beta-amino compound that behaves as a conserved metabolite in the mammal. We studied two strains of inbred mice: C3H/HeJ (low-taurine excreter) and C57BL/6J (high-taurine excreter due to impaired basolateral membrane permeability to taurine). Low-protein and low-sulfur amino acid diets fed for two weeks significantly decre...
متن کامل6. Taurine, taurine derivatives and the immune system
Taurine, 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 such as bile acid conjugation, maintenance of calcium homeostasis, osmoregulation, and membrane stabilization [1,2,3]. Taurine reaches particularly high concentrations in tissues with high oxidative activity and in tissues exposed to el...
متن کاملTaurine and neurotransmission
Taurine is enriched in electrically excitable tissues such as brain, retina, heart and skeletal muscles. Since the 1960s it has been envisaged to act in the central nervous system as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, neuroprotector, membrane stabilizer, endogenous antiepileptic agent, cell volume regulator, and thought to maintain calcium homeostasis and membrane integrity [1]. Of the many pr...
