  • Title: [Effect of taurine on potassium, calcium and sodium levels in the blood and tissues of rats].
    Author: Shustova TI, Mashkova NIu, Cherkashina EM, Dokshina GA.
    Journal: Vopr Med Khim; 1986; 32(4):113-6. PubMed ID: 3765489.
    Abstract:
    Effect of taurine on content of electrolytes was studied in rat myocardium, liver tissue, skeletal muscles and erythrocytes. The balanced electrolytic state of a body was impaired by administration of adrenaline at arrhythmogenic doses, while content of potassium in erythrocytes was altered by means of addition of adrenaline or p-chloromercuribenzoate into the incubation medium. Taurine was shown to normalize the content of potassium and calcium ions in vivo and in vitro.
