Modulation of Ca2+ and Na+ Transport by Taurine in Heart and Vascular Smooth Muscle

  • Chapter
Taurine 2

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 403))

Abstract

Taurine has been reported to produce (i) a positive inotropic effect in heart muscle15, 20, (ii) beneficial effects against treatment of congestive heart failure1, and (iii) protective effects against Ca2+ overload27, 28. Compared to cardiac muscle, little is known on the action of taurine on vascular smooth muscle.
