Thomas George on the Connection Between Leukemia and Taurine - UF Health Cancer Center / cancer, Leukemia, OncoDaily, Oncology, taurine, Thomas George, UF

Taurine is one of the most common natural substances, despite its behaviour under stongly acidic condtions, which was first uncovered with the determination of the crystal structure of 2-sulfo­ethyl­ammonium hexa­fluorido­anti­monate. We report further protonation, forming the sul­fo­nium ion, resulting from a tem­per­a­ture-dependent reaction of taurine with the superacidic system HF/AsF5.

Low circulating taurine concentrations have been proposed as a driver of the aging process. We found that circulating taurine concentrations increased or remained unchanged with age in three geographi...

Some studies (including work published in 2023 by Singh et al.) have indicated that taurine concentrations decline with age, and supplementation has been suggested to improve both healthspan and lifespan. Fernandez et al. now report results in mice, nonhuman primates, and three distinct large human cohorts studied longitudinally (i.e., with repeated measurements of the same individuals) that yield a more complex picture. The authors found large interindividual variation in circulating taurine concentrations and an increase in taurine concentrations for most cohorts during adult life. There was also no clear association of taurine concentrations with measures of health status. Thus, the possible beneficial effects of taurine supplementation are likely to depend on a range of variables and individual context. —L. Bryan Ray

Taurine is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid that is found abundantly in excitatory tissues, such as the heart, brain, retina and skeletal muscles. Taurine was first isolated in the 1...
