“…Adiponectin receptor 1 is predominantly expressed in the skeletal muscle . HFD increased taurine levels and no difference was observed compared to the HF + taurine group, which is inconsistent with previous reports . Adipose tissue participates directly in obesity‐related cardiovascular diseases and coronary artery disease is associated with decreased serum adiponectin levels .…”

Energy metabolism is a basic and general process, by which the body acquires and uses energy to maintain normal function, and taurine plays a vital role in energy metabolism. Taurine deficiency may cause a weak energy metabolism and energy metabolism dysfunction. Taurine biosynthetic ability is limited, and its supplementation in the diet can strengthen energy metabolism in muscle performance, cardiac function, liver activity, and adipose tissue. Combining taurine with other drugs may have a superior effect in energy metabolism. In many metabolic disorders, taurine, or the combination of taurine with other drugs, also functions as a repair treatment for damaged tissues, and acts as a promoter for the balance of energy metabolism. The present study discusses the potential roles of taurine in energy metabolism.

“…Many factors affect the concentration of taurine: biosynthetic enzymes and taurine transporter (TauT) activities, volume‐sensitive flux pathways, liver diseases, age, and diet (high‐fat diet (HFD), high‐arginine diet, high/low‐protein diet, and ethanol‐containing diet). Taurine levels are also related to motion .…”
