“…Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated the positive effects of taurine supplementation on lipid metabolism in both rodents and athletes [13,14]. Evaluating the combined effects of taurine supplementation (2%) and physical training, our research group observed a reduction in final body weight, as well as epididymal and visceral fat deposits of obese rats [14]. Recently, De Carvalho et al [13] verified the effects of acute supplementation of taurine (6 g) before a maximum swimming performance test and confirmed a significant increase of 8% in the plasma glycerol levels.…”

Taurine Supplementation Increases Post-Exercise Lipid Oxidation at Moderate Intensity in Fasted Healthy Males

Based on the fact that taurine can increase lipid metabolism, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of acute taurine supplementation on lipid oxidation levels in healthy young men after a single bout of fasting aerobic exercise. A double-blind, acute, and crossover study design was conducted. Seventeen men (age 24.8 ± 4.07y; BMI: 23.9 ± 2.57 kg/m²) participated in the present study. Different doses of taurine (TAU) (3 g or 6 g) or placebo were supplemented 90 min before a single bout of fasting aerobic exercise (on a treadmill at 60% of VO2 max). The subjects performed three trials, and each one was separated by seven days. Blood samples were collected at baseline and after the exercise protocol of each test to analyze plasma levels of glycerol and taurine. Lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were determined immediately after exercise for 15 min by indirect calorimetry. We observed that TAU supplementation (6 g) increased lipid oxidation (38%) and reduced the respiratory coefficient (4%) when compared to the placebo (p < 0.05). However, no differences in lipid oxidation were observed between the different doses of taurine (3 g and 6 g). For glycerol concentrations, there were no differences between trials. Six grams of TAU supplementation 90 min before a single bout of aerobic exercise in a fasted state was sufficient to increase the lipid oxidation post-exercise in healthy young men.

“…Moreover, it has been shown that taurine supplementation associated with exercise improved lipid metabolism by modulating genes related to mitochondrial activity and fatty acid oxidation in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue of obese women [61]. In an animal study, Martiniano et al showed that taurine supplementation with exercise training (30 to 60 min treadmill running for four days at the speed of 5 to 10 m/min) was able to reduce visceral fat area and weight compared to exercise alone in obese rats after eight weeks [62]. Regarding TRX training, there is some evidence that indicates no significant differences in body composition changes between TRX training and traditional RT [20,63].…”

Background: We aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week total-body resistance exercise (TRX) suspension training intervention combined with taurine supplementation on body composition, blood glucose, and lipid markers in T2D females. Methods: Forty T2D middle-aged females (age: 53 ± 5 years, body mass = 84.3 ± 5.1 kg) were randomly assigned to four groups, TRX suspension training + placebo (TP; n = 10), TRX suspension training + taurine supplementation (TT; n = 10), taurine supplementation (T; n = 10), or control (C; n = 10). Body composition (body mass, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP)), blood glucose (fasting blood sugar (FBS)), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Insulin, and Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and lipid markers (low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC)) were evaluated prior to and after interventions. Results: All three interventions significantly decreased body mass, BMI, and BFP with no changes between them for body mass and BMI; however, BFP changes in the TT group were significantly greater than all other groups. FBS was significantly reduced in TP and TT. Insulin concentrations’ decrement were significantly greater in all experimental groups compared to C; however, no between group differences were observed between TT, TP, and T. In regards to HOMA-IR, decreases in TT were significantly greater than all other groups TG, HbA1c, and LDL were reduced following all interventions. HDL values significantly increased only in the TT group, while TC significantly decreased in TP and TT groups. Changes in HbA1c, TG, HDL, and TC were significantly greater in the TT compared to all other groups. Conclusions: TRX training improved glycemic and lipid profiles, while taurine supplementation alone failed to show hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties. Notably, the synergic effects of TRX training and taurine supplementation were shown in HbA1c, HOMA-IR, TG, TC, HDL, and BFP changes. Our outcomes suggest that TRX training + taurine supplementation may be an effective adjuvant therapy in individuals with T2D.

Taurine is Involved in Energy Metabolism in Muscles, Adipose Tissue, and the Liver

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.
