Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is known for its various physiological roles, including bile salt formation, eye health, cardiovascular function, and development and function of skeletal muscle, the central nervous system, and the cardiovascular system. Recent research has explored its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly in conditions characterized by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Reduction in Inflammatory Markers:
Oxidative Stress Mitigation:
Improvement in Metabolic and Functional Outcomes:
Modulation of Macrophage Phenotype:
Taurine supplementation appears to have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects across various conditions characterized by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. It reduces inflammatory markers, enhances antioxidant defenses, improves metabolic and functional outcomes, and modulates macrophage phenotypes towards an anti-inflammatory state. These findings suggest that taurine could be a valuable therapeutic agent for managing inflammation and oxidative stress-related conditions.
