| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the impacts of taurine deficiency to high fat diet-induced pathology by using taurine transporter knockout mice. The present studies indicate that taurine deficiency improve high fat diet-induced glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Moreover, our data suggest that taurine deficiency causes inefficient energy production in tissues, which results in the improvement against high fat diet-induced pathology.
