“…Moreover, taurine deficiency is associated with various pathologies including heart dysfunction [31], abnormalities of brain development [32], and cardiomyopathy [33]. In the astrocytes and the neurons, taurine is the principal osmolyte which during hypotonic or hypertonic conditions it goes out from or accumulates inside the cell, respectively [12].…”

“…Initially recognized to be an important element in bile and the conjugation of bile salts, taurine is also found in high concentrations in the muscle, heart, central nervous system, and other tissues where it has been suggested to play roles in excitation-contraction mechanisms and in fluid balance (Eby and Halcomb 2006). While it is readily absorbed following ingestion, only small amounts enter the tissues.…”

Abstract:The importance of ergonomics across several scientific domains, including biomechanics, psychology, sociology, and physiology, have been extensively explored. However, the role of other factors that may influence the health and productivity of workers, such as nutrition, is generally overlooked. Nutra-ergonomics describes the interface between workers, their work environment, and performance in relation to their nutritional status. It considers nutrition to be an integral part of a safe and productive workplace that encompasses physical and mental health as well as the long-term wellbeing of workers. This review explores the knowledge, awareness, and common practices of nutrition, hydration, stimulants, and fortified product use employed prior to physical employment standards testing and within the workplace. The influence of these nutra-ergonomic strategies on physical employment standards, worker safety, and performance will be examined. Further, the roles, responsibilities, and implications for the applicant, worker, and the employer will be discussed within the context of nutra-ergonomics, with reference to the provision and sustainability of an environment conducive to optimize worker health and wellbeing. Beyond physical employment standards, workplace productivity, and performance, the influence of extended or chronic desynchronization (irregular or shift work) in the work schedule on metabolism and long-term health, including risk of developing chronic and complex diseases, is discussed. Finally, practical nutra-ergonomic strategies and recommendations for the applicant, worker, and employer alike will be provided to enhance the short-and long-term safety, performance, health, and wellbeing of workers.

“…Some cardioprotective effects in mammals were found to be induced by another amino acid and a compatible solute, taurine (Birdsall, 1998: Xu et al, 2008. High concentrations of this compound are found in the mammalian heart where it regulates the intracellular level of ions (Eby and Halcomb, 2006). Since ECT, like taurine is an osmoprotectant, the mechanisms of its cardioprotective action may be associated with regulation of intracellular ion influx to the cardiomyocytes.…”

Clove oil (CO) used as an anaesthetic in aquaculture causes toxic effects in fish and invertebrates since it has a narrow margin between effective and lethal concentrations. Ectoine (ECT) is an osmoprotectant produced by halophilic bacteria in response to stressful factors. It was hypothesized that ECT may attenuate physiological alterations induced by CO in aquatic animals. The aim of the present study was to determine if ECT induces protective effects in Daphnia magna subjected to COinduced anaesthesia. Daphnids were treated with 50 or 150 µL/L CO alone or in the combination with 10, 25 or 50 mg/L ECT. The results showed that both concentrations of CO alone induced anaesthesia, heart arrhythmia, decreased heart rate, increased diastole/systole ratio and duration of diastole. On the other hand, ECT attenuated alterations evoked by CO with the most significant effects in the combination of 50 µL/L CO+25 mg/L ECT. The animals showed a prolonged TtA and attenuated depression of thoracic limb activity, heart rate, arrhythmia, decreased diastole/systole ratio and duration of diastole.The results indicate that ECT may be a cardioprotective agent in anaesthesized crustaceans.
