Taurine

05/01/2011 - "It was confirmed again that taurine (50 mg/kg) administered intravenously 1 h after ischemia markedly improved neurological function and decreased infarct volume at 22 h after reperfusion. "
09/01/2012 - "Treatment with taurine 4 h or 8 h after ischemia significantly improved the neurologic function, and decreased the infarct volumes 24 h after ischemia. "
03/12/2010 - "Taurine has been documented to have protective effects on neuronal cells against ischemia in vivo and in vitro. "
01/01/2010 - "Protective effects of taurine against endotoxin-induced acute liver injury after hepatic ischemia reperfusion."
01/01/2015 - "Although taurine supplementation upregulates TauT expression, elevates the intracellular taurine content and ameliorates the ischemic injury of cardiomyocytes (CMs), little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of taurine governing TauT expression under ischemia. "

01/01/1992 - "Body weight at birth and brain weight at weaning were significantly greater in the very high taurine group than in the normal taurine group, although the greatest growth rate was achieved by the normal taurine group. "
01/01/2015 - "It was found that taurine lessened body-weight loss and improved neurological functions at 7 days after CHI. "
01/01/2014 - "Group II showed a significant (P < 0.05) change in the mean scotopic b-wave amplitude when compared to that of Group I, whereas the diabetic rabbits treated with taurine (Group III and IV) were analogous to Group I. Histologically, the amount of Bipolar and Müller cells showed no difference (P > 0.05) between all groups and when compared with those of Group I. Our study provides solid evidences that taurine possesses an antidiabetic activity, reduced loss of body weight, and less electrophysiological changes of the diabetic retina. "
01/01/1998 - "The daily taurine intake of representative Chinese men (18-45 years old, 60 kg body weight, light physical activity) was also studied in 1990 as a part of the Total Diet Study. "
01/01/1996 - "iii. This study showed that the taurine concentration in human milk and the taurine intake of infants were different during lactation between nonvegetarians and lacto-ovovegetarians, and that the intake per kg body weight decreased during lactation. "

12/01/2004 - "These observations suggest that taurine administration may be useful in hyperglycemia because of its hypoglycemic and protective effects."
07/01/2004 - "These metabolic changes might be ascribed, in part, to the alteration of circulating blood profiles, where the improved hyperglycemia and/or the blood accumulation of taurine itself would play roles."
01/01/2015 - "Long-term taurine supplementation leads to enhanced hepatic steatosis, renal dysfunction and hyperglycemia in mice fed on a high-fat diet."
01/01/2013 - "Taurine may not alleviate hyperglycemia-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress in human adipocytes."
01/01/2013 - "Treatment with taurine (1% w/v for three weeks) post-hyperglycemia, however, could restore all the alteration caused by ALX. "

07/01/2006 - "Taurine treatment improved the degree of oxidative stress and fibrosis in rat CP. "
03/01/2010 - "This study presents novel findings of taurine's role in protecting from TGF-beta1-associated development of lung fibrosis after thoracic radiation."
07/01/2006 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of taurine on oxidative capacity and fibrosis in experimental chronic rat pancreatic fibrosis. "
06/01/2004 - "The aim of this study was to examine taurine concentration in various tissues of a liver damaged with fibrosis (LD) in a rat model before and after exercise. "
01/01/2012 - "Taurine treatment inhibited pancreatic fibrosis and apoptosis of acinar cells induced by DBTC. "

01/01/2013 - "Further, the efficacy of taurine supplementation in the setting of maternal obesity is not known. "
01/01/2010 - "This study characterizes taurine's potential anti-obesity function in C. "
01/01/2010 - "Recent studies indicated that taurine may serve as an anti-obesity agent at the cellular level. "
09/01/2015 - "The effectiveness of taurine administration against obesity and its related diseases, including type 2 diabetes, has been well documented. "
08/15/2015 - "Taurine (Tau) regulates lipid metabolism, representing a possible nutraceutical agent against obesity and its comorbidities. "
