Oral taurine treatment has been studied extensively as a hypotensive agent. Several rat
models of hypertension have been used to prove that dietary taurine supplementation can …

The status and potential functions of taurine in the retina have been reviewed. Taurine is
present in high concentrations in the retina of all species tested, while the retinal concentrations …

… Lombardini, JB (1993a) "Partial characterization of an approximately 20 K M, retinal
protein whose phosphorylation is inhibited by taurine", Biochemical Pharmacology 46, 1445-1451…

The amino acid, taurine, is an important nutrient found in very high concentration in excitable
tissue. Cellular depletion of taurine has been linked to developmental defects, retinal …

The mechanism of the conversion of L-cysteine to L-cysteinesulfinic acid in the presence of
oxygen, reduced pyridine nucleotide, Fe 2+ , and an enzyme from rat liver cytoplasm was …

Steric, electronic, and conformational requirements are described for analogues of L-methionine
essential to their function as substrates or inhibitors of the methionine …

The present status of knowledge of the synthesis and the metabolic and regulatory functions
of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AMe) is reviewed. The mechanism of the enzymatic synthesis …

There is strong evidence that the retina degenerates with age. Electroretinogram deficits and
photoreceptor cell death and structural abnormalities have been observed in both animal …

Taurine supplementation may prove to be a safe and convenient method to reverse high blood
cholesterol and the associated rise in atherosclerosis. Although human studies are limited…

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the fifth leading cause of death in the US. Nearly 80% of diabetic
mortality is secondary to cardiovascular disease resulting from atherosclerosis. Current …
