What are the effects and effects of taurine?
One ingredient, taurine, is often found in the ingredient list for sports drinks. Taurine was first isolated from bezoar, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, taurocholamine, bovine bilirubin, a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid that exists in the free state in the body and does not participate in the body. Protein biosynthesis. Although taurine is not involved in protein synthesis, it chemically reacts with glycine and gamma aminobutyric acid as a neurotransmitter for tissue and blood.
There are two sources of taurine in the human body:
1. Self-synthesis, the other is ingestion from the diet. Adults generally do not need to add taurine in their diet. As long as the liver function is normal, they can synthesize themselves.
2, food supply, infants, especially premature infants, because the enzyme synthesis system is still immature, and does not have the function of synthesizing taurine, the taurine required by the body must rely on food supply.
What are the physiological functions of taurine?
1. Taurine has the effect of enhancing myocardial contraction
Taurine has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation, enhancing myocardial contractility and lowering blood pressure in the blood circulation. Taurine is also used to treat heart disease and is of great help to patients with congestive heart failure. It is also clinically used as a good drug for conditioning cardiovascular diseases.
2. Taurine has the effect of promoting brain development in infants
Taurine is abundant in the brain. Taurine can significantly promote the growth and development of the nervous system, and cell proliferation. If the newborn is insufficiently supplemented, it will lead to slow growth of young children. Especially the taurine in breast milk, especially in colostrum. Rich in content, infant formula also contains taurine, taurine is closely related to fetal, infant central nervous development and retinal development.
3. Taurine has the effect of fighting anxiety and promoting learning ability.
Taurine is a regulator of the human nervous system, and taurine is very helpful for patients with bipolar disorder. Taurine also promotes learning and memory, improves the accuracy of learning and memory, and prevents aging of the nervous system.
3. Taurine has the function of improving visual function
The reason why cats and owls can prey at night has a great relationship with their vision. The main taurine of cats and owls is derived from mice. Rats are rich in taurine. Taurine can help maintain normal visual function. It protects vision and improves vision, which helps the eye cell membrane to maintain normal function.
4. Taurine has the effect of promoting fat metabolism
Taurine combines with bile acids to form taurocholic acid. Bovine cholic acid can increase the solubility of lipids and cholesterol in the digestive tract, help promote the metabolism and absorption of fat, and also relieve bile clogging and reduce some free bile acids. Cytotoxicity, inhibit the formation of cholesterol stones, increase bile flow and so on.
5, taurine has the effect of promoting lowering blood sugar
Taurine binds to the insulin receptor, promotes cellular uptake and utilization of glucose, accelerates glycolysis, and lowers blood glucose levels. Taurine has a certain hypoglycemic effect and does not depend on increasing insulin release.
6, Taurine has the effect of inhibiting the occurrence of cataract
Taurine has an important role in regulating crystal osmotic pressure and anti-oxidation. During the development of cataract, the content of sorbic acid in the lens increases, the osmotic pressure of crystal increases, and the concentration of taurine, which is an important substance for regulating osmotic pressure, is significantly reduced. The antioxidant effect is weakened, and the protein in the crystal is excessively oxidized, causing or aggravating the occurrence of cataract. Supplementation of taurine can inhibit the development of cataract.
7. Taurine has the effect of generating energy to eliminate fatigue.
Taurine protects the heart muscle from maintaining heart function and normal blood circulation, thereby eliminating fatigue products and enabling the body to efficiently produce energy. Therefore, it is often added to sports drinks and energy drinks.
Taurine is so powerful, is it possible to drink sports drinks without restrictions?
No, sports drinks contain taurine, sugar, salt, and even preservatives. The purpose of energy drinks is to increase the excitability and provide immediate energy molecules in a short period of time. There are compounds such as caffeine and creatine phosphate that can be easily and quickly supplied with complex ingredients, and the added ingredients have certain drug effects, and are not suitable for long-term or one-time large amounts of water. Moreover, adults with normal liver function rely on their own synthetic taurine to meet the needs of the body, and do not need additional supplements.
