| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we carried out to examine the ameliorative effects of taurine administration against two harmful chemical substances (e.g. cadmium, a toxic metal, and phenanthrene, one of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and to elucidate underlying possible mechanisms in marine teleost aquaculture fish, Pagrus major. First, we found that appropriate levels of taurine administration could reduce the chemical-induced mortality by 1/13-1/10 and inhibit bioaccumulation of cadmium in the liver. These phenomena are partly explained by imbalanced metabolite profile in the liver by taurine deficiency such as amino acids and sugar alcohols. In summary, the present findings demonstrates that taurine is an essential nutrient for marine teleost fish in terms of alleviation of adverse effect caused by harmful chemical substances and plays a promising role in human consumption and welfare.
