Taurine may protect liver cells from toxic damage by Dr. John Z. Medical Doctor

Posted Mon 22 Sep 2008 10:06am Taurine (2-aminoethanesulphonic acid) is a potent antioxidant amino acid with hepatoprotective effects. A new research report further elucidates the extent to which taurine protects liver cells from toxicity from carbon tetrachloride induced damage. The research team led by Mehmet Refik Mas from Gulhane School of Medicine in Turkey found that co Read on »
