Retinal disorders are leading causes of blindness and are due to an imbalance between
reactive oxygen species and antioxidant scavenger (in favor of pro‐oxidant species) or a …

Taurine is considered a non-essential amino acid because it is synthesized by most
mammals. However, dietary intake of taurine may be necessary to achieve the physiological …

Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in the retina. In the 1970s, it was thought to be
involved in retinal diseases with photoreceptor degeneration, because cats on a taurine-free …

Taurine has been shown to be tissue protective in many models of oxidant-induced injury.
However, its protective role against retinal damage induced by photochemical stress is less …

There is strong evidence that the retina degenerates with age. Electroretinogram deficits and
photoreceptor cell death and structural abnormalities have been observed in both animal …

Objective Retinitis pigmentosa causes progressive photoreceptor degeneration in the
subjects while no clinical therapy exists. The present study sought to evaluate the potential …

This study evaluates the effect of 4 months supplementation with 2% and 5% taurine (w/w)
on the retina of diabetic rats. In non-diabetic rats, taurine does not modify glycemia, body …

This study aimed to evaluate effect of TAU on NMDA-induced changes in retinal redox
status, retinal cell apoptosis and retinal morphology in Sprague–Dawley rats. Taurine was …

Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration occurs in numerous retinal diseases leading to
blindness, either as a primary process like in glaucoma, or secondary to photoreceptor loss …

According to reports, supplementation with appropriate doses of taurine may help to reduce
visual fatigue. Presently, some progress has been made in research related to taurine in eye …
