We previously demonstrated that iron overload induces liver damage by causing the
formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taurine is a potent free radical scavenger that …

Background—Iron overload has an increasing worldwide prevalence and is associated with
significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elevated iron levels in the myocardium …

Taurine is a fundamental mediator of homeostasis that exerts multiple roles to confer
protection against oxidant stress. The development of hypertension, muscle/neuro …

Cirrhosis-induced heart injury and cardiomyopathy is a serious consequence of this
disease. It has been shown that bile duct ligated (BDL) animals could serve as an …

Summary Calorie restriction (CR) by 30–40% decreases morbidity of age-related diseases
and prolongs the lifespan of various laboratory animal species. Taurine (2 …

Baicalin has been reported to protect against liver injury in iron-overload mice, however, the
mechanisms underlying the hepatoprotective properties of baicalin are poorly understood. In …

Taurine effectively prevents ischemia-induced apoptosis in the cardiomyocytes and
hypothalamic nuclei. The present study explores the influence of taurine on mitochondrial …

Taurine plays a protective role against free radicals and toxins in various cells and tissues.
However, the effect of taurine on hepatic injury and fibrosis developed by activated hepatic …

Tannic acid (TA), a water soluble natural polyphenol with 8 gallic acids groups, is
abundantly present in various medicinal plants. Previously TA has been investigated for its …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of taurine on hepatic
fibrogenesis and in isolated hepatic stellate cells (HSC). METHODS: The rats of the hepatic …
