General description

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid mainly found in animal tissues. In mammals, it is reported to play an important role in the normal development of fetuses and neonates. Taurine is also one of the key ingredients in energy drinks.

Application

• Efficacy of taurine-enhanced enteral nutrition in improving the outcomes of critically ill patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.: This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of taurine-enhanced enteral nutrition in critically ill patients. The results indicate that taurine supplementation significantly improves patient outcomes, including reduced inflammation and enhanced recovery rates (Zhang et al., 2024).


• Taurine reduces the risk for metabolic syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate that taurine supplementation can significantly reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. The findings support taurine′s potential as a therapeutic agent in managing metabolic health and preventing related diseases (Tzang et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Non-selective endogenous agonist at glycine receptors. Conditionally essential sulfonated amino acid which modulates apoptosis in some cells; functions in many metabolic activities; a product of methionine and cysteine metabolism.
