Cardiac and skeletal muscle abnormality in taurine transporter-knockout mice
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Taurine, a sulfur-containing β-amino acid, is highly contained in heart and skeletal muscle. Taurine has a variety of biological actions, such as ion movement, calcium handling and cytoprotection in the cardiac and skeletal muscles. Meanwhile, taurine deficiency...
