    Is Insulin Resistance A Result Of Impaired Beta Oxidation Or Excessive Beta Oxidation?

    Peat's obviously a big believer that healthy glucose metabolism should be favored over beta oxidation, and that many factors, including PUFA, excessive lypolysis, serotonin, estrogen, cortisol, lactate, and inflammation all steer the body away from oxidative metabolism, leading to even more...

    Taurine Protects Against Heavy Metal Toxicity

    It looks like taurine protects against cadmium, iron, arsenic, lead, aluminum, mercury and other heavy metals. It has strong anti-oxidant properties I think largely mediated through increasing glutathione and increasing fecal/bile excretion of heavy metals. Taurine also protects against...

    Newer Insights Into The Taurinuria Of Vitamin D Deficiency: A Review

    Newer Insights into the Taurinuria of Vitamin D Deficiency: A Review - Springer Excessive taurinuria occurs in vitamin D deficiency as a component of the generalized aminoaciduria of that state. Aminoaciduria was originally ascribed to hyperparathyroidism (increased PTH) in vitamin D-deficiency...

    Natural Taurine Reduces Endotoxin In Mice

    The study compared the effect of 'natural taurine' (from octopus viscera) with 'synthetic taurine' and saline. (I presume that the type of taurine we get in supplements isn't octopus viscera.) Natural taurine reduced endotoxin by around 25% and increased short-chain fatty acids by 30%, when...

    Taurine Effective Against Hypervitaminosis A In Rats

    Abstract A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of taurine on the toxicity of vitamin A in male wistar rats. The rats were divided into six groups and fed different diets with or without supplements of 5% taurine and 25,000–50,000 (IU) vitamin A for 2 months. It was found that the body...

    Taurine/glycine Ratio As A Biomarker Of Stress

    There are very few reliable biomakers of both acute and chronic stress in the organism. Prolactin and cortisol are two such markers, as well as DHEA-S. However, they tend to be more accurate for acute stress reactions and not so much for chronic stress load on the organism. This older study...
