The Regulation and Function of Taurine in the Heart and Other Organs

摘要: The regulation of taurine in the heart has proved difficult to elucidate. This is part due difficulty modifying content experimentally, and complexity putative metabolic routes taurine. Insight into function been retarded also by lack a suitable antagonist. Knowledge becomihg increasingly important, recent findings that dietary deficiency cat leads retinal degeneration blindness, possibility may be an essential amino acid humans (Schmidt et al. 1976; Gaull 1977). potentially alarming, commercial milks most babies are reared on developed nations contain no A disturbance occurs congestive failure, which doubling concentration observed (Peterson 1973; Huxtable Bressler 1974). observation interest, apart from its possible physiological significance, experimental increases cardiac concentrations have yet achieved absence dysfunction.
