Application

• Longitudinal multi-omics analysis uncovers the altered landscape of gut microbiota and plasma metabolome in response to high altitude: This study utilizes high purity taurine in a multi-omics approach to investigate the impact of high altitude on gut microbiota and plasma metabolome, providing valuable insights for biochemical and pharmaceutical research in extreme environments (Han et al., 2024).


• Huayu Qutan Recipe promotes lipophagy and cholesterol efflux through the mTORC1/TFEB/ABCA1-SCARB1 signal axis: Taurine is implicated in enhancing lipophagy and cholesterol efflux, contributing to the understanding of cellular mechanisms in metabolic regulation and presenting a novel approach for the treatment of lipid disorders (Li et al., 2024).


• Investigating the mechanism of cornel iridoid glycosides on type 2 diabetes mellitus using serum and urine metabolites in rats: This study utilizes taurine to investigate the metabolic changes induced by herbal treatments in diabetes, which could lead to the development of new strategies for managing this condition through modifications in biochemical pathways (Hou et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions
