Taurine is often referred to as a semi‐essential amino acid as newborn mammals have a
limited ability to synthesize taurine and have to rely on dietary supply. Taurine is not thought …

Taurine is a nonproteinogenic ß‐aminosulfonic acid. Important dietary sources of taurine are

The unifying hypothesis of diabetes maintains that reactive oxygen species (ROS)
generated in the mitochondria of glucose-treated cells promote reactions leading to the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules or ions formed by the incomplete one-

D-galactose (GAL) has been used as an animal model for brain aging and antiaging studies.
GAL stimulates oxidative stress in several tissues including brain. Carnosine (CAR; β-alanil …

Objective Based on the antioxidant effects of taurine, which are capable of controlling
oxidative stress in the aging process, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of …

Recent studies report that depletion and repletion of muscle taurine (Tau) to endogenous
levels affects skeletal muscle contractility in vitro. In this study, muscle Tau content was …

Retinal neurons are not able to undergo spontaneous regeneration in response to damage.
