Effects ofin vivo taurine depletion on induced- chemiluminescence production in macrophages isolated from rat lungs

Abstract: Alveolar macrophages isolated by pulmonary lavage from partially taurine-depleted rats demonstrated increased (2-2.6 fold) chemiluminescence due to the extracellular reaction between exogenous zymosan and various reactive forms of oxygen compared to macrophages isolated from control animals. Partial taurine depletion was achieved by adding 3% beta-alanine to the drinking water of the rats for 5 weeks prior to harvesting the macrophages. Superoxide dismutase activity was not increased in the lung tissue of the … Show more
