Description | Taurine (2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid), an organic acid, is distributed in various animal tissues. |
In vivo | Taurine prevents bile duct obstruction induced by monohydroxy bile acids in guinea pigs and is also an essential nutrient for cats. In two controlled studies, oral administration of taurine increased its plasma concentration, correlating with the normalization of left ventricular function. A direct relationship between myocardial and plasma taurine concentrations was observed in cats, where low plasma levels were linked to myocardial weakness, indicating a direct correlation between decreased myocardial taurine levels and reduced mechanical function of the heart muscle. Taurine is found in high concentrations in algae, animals, insects, and arthropods, but is typically absent or present only in trace amounts in bacteria and plants. In cardiac tissues, taurine can reach concentrations of 20 mM or higher. |
