“…A remarkable exception is represented by taurine (Tau), in spite of the increasing evidence of its important role in host defense and antioxidant protection (Belli 1994, Hayes 1988aand 1988b, Huxtable and Barbeau 1976, Huxtable 1992, Kendler 1989, Neary et al 1997, Watson et al 1995, Wright et al 1986). The available knowledge is limited to reports of decreased plasma Tau in trauma, sepsis and critical illnesses (Askanazi et al 1980, Gray et al 1994, Jeevanandam et al 1990, Neary et al 1997, Paauw and Davis 1990, Vente et al 1989).…”

Although reports of decreased plasma taurine in trauma, sepsis and critical illness are available, very little is known about the relationships among changes in plasma taurine, other amino acid levels and metabolic variables. We analyzed a large series of plasma amino acid profiles obtained in trauma patients with sepsis who were undergoing total parenteral nutrition. The correlations between plasma taurine, other amino acid levels, parenteral substrate doses and metabolic and cardiorespiratory variables were assessed by regression analysis. Post-traumatic hypotaurinemia was followed by partial recovery toward less abnormal values when sepsis developed. Levels of taurine were directly and significantly related to levels of glutamate, aspartate, ␤-alanine and phosphoethanolamine (and unrelated to other amino acids). Levels of these amino acids increased simultaneously with increasing doses of leucine, isoleucine and valine in total parenteral nutrition. Decreasing taurine was associated with increasing lactate, arteriovenous O 2 concentration difference and respiratory index, and with decreasing cholesterol and cardiac index. These results characterize the relationships between plasma taurine and other amino acid levels in sepsis, provide evidence of amino acid interactions that may support taurine availability and show more severe decreases in plasma taurine with the worsening of metabolic and cardiorespiratory patterns.

“…Among the diverse biological functions of taurine (for references see Huxtable 1982;Huxtable et al 1987;Hayes 1988;Gaull 1989;Sturman 1990;Wright et al 1986) an important one is the regulation of cell volume. Transporters, ion channels, cell calcium, and changes in the membrane potential are involved in cell volume regulation, and the mechanisms underlying the phenomena in liver and kidney have recently been reviewed (Graf et al 1988;Lang et al 1990;.…”

“…The synthesis of taurine depends on the activity of Cysteine Sulphinin Acid Decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.29 -CSAD): in cats, which have a very low level of enzyme activity, taurine must be present in their diet (Knopf et al 1978;Hayes 1988), whereas other mammals, including humans, have high enzyme activity and this compound is considered semi-essential.…”

Taurine, a free amino acid, was studied as natural compound of different typologies of milk: pasteurized, ultra-high temperature (UHT), microfiltered whole and semi-skimmed cow's milk; pasteurized and UHT goat's whole milk and raw buffalo's whole milk. Moreover, taurine contents in yoghurt from cow and goat's milk were evaluated. The data obtained in this research showed that no significant variations of taurine occurred in cow's milk subjected to different technological processes and between whole and semi-skimmed milk. The amount of taurine was less (p < 0.05) in cow's milk (0.60 mg/100 g) than in goat and buffalo's milk (6.55 and 7.32 mg/100 g, respectively). No significant differences in taurine occurred between goat and buffalo's samples. The amounts of taurine in yoghurt reflected, substantially, the content of this molecule in the milk of the relevant animal species. These results are noteworthy because data available in the literature on this molecule in commercial dairy products are old or few.
