Abstract

Taurine (Tau), an endogenous non-protein and sulfuric-amino acid, is involved in various biological pathways including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, insulin resistance inhibition, and lipid profile improvement. According to some experimental and clinical studies, insulin resistance and excess body weight are associated with reduced serum level of Tau. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate Tau supplementation and a diet-induced weight-loss intervention on body composition and some biochemical indices of obese women. Participants were divided randomly into the intervention (standard weight-loss group + cap Tau 3 g/day for 8 weeks, n = 20) and control (standard weight-loss group + cap placebo for 8 weeks, n = 18) groups. To achieve weight loss, all participants received an individualized diet that included a 30% reduction in their total energy intake. Chi-square test was applied to compare categorical variables between two groups at baseline. Paired t test and independent-sample t test were also used to analyze the parametric continuous data within and between the two groups, respectively. Analysis of covariance was run for controlling the confounding variables. At the post-intervention, the mean changes of total choles...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
