The vascular actions and mechanisms of taurine were investigated in the isolated human radial artery (RA). RA rings were suspended in isolated organ baths and tension was recorded isometrically. First, a precontraction was achieved by adding potassium chloride (KCl, 45 mM) or serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, 30 µM) to organ baths. When the precontractions were stable, taurine (20, 40, 80 mM) was added cumulatively. Antagonistic effect of taurine on calcium chloride (10 µM to 10 mM)-induced…

Propofol-Induced Vasodilation in Human Internal Mammary Artery: Role of Potassium Channels.

It is clearly revealed that propofol relaxes the IMA, and prop ofol-induced vasodilation may be related to large conductance calcium ion-activated potassium ion channel activation.

Effects of taurine on vascular tone

This review summarizes the role of taurine in vascular tone and blood pressure modulation based on experimental and human studies to facilitate the development of therapeutic and/or diet-based strategies to reduce the burden of vascular diseases.

Potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle: a pathophysiological and pharmacological perspective

Modulation of K+ channel activity by molecular approaches and selective drug development may be a novel treatment modality for vascular dysfunction in the future.

The Effects of Oral Taurine on Resting Blood Pressure in Humans: a Meta-Analysis

These preliminary findings suggest that ingestion of taurine at the stated doses and supplementation periods can reduce blood pressure to a clinically relevant magnitude, without any adverse side effects.

Physiological and thermoregulatory effects of oral taurine supplementation on exercise tolerance during forced convective cooling

A 50 mg·kg−1 dose of taurine did not statistically benefit endurance exercise after moderate cold exposure but conferred some potential vascular and metabolic effects.

Taurine Metabolism in Humans

Plasma level of acetyl-taurine increases after exercise, suggesting that taurine contributes to reduce excess intracellularacetyl-coA content, like L-carnitine, and may have beneficial effects on exercise performance.

Cadmium induces placental glucocorticoid barrier damage by suppressing the cAMP/PKA/Sp1 pathway and the protective role of taurine.

Metabolism of vascular smooth muscle cells in vascular diseases.

This review presents a brief overview of VSMCs metabolism, and how it regulates the progression of several vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, systemic hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, vascular calcification, and aneurysms, and the effect of the risk factors for vascular disease (aging, cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol drinking) on VS MCs metabolism.

Using lectures to identify student misconceptions: a study on the paradoxical effects of hyperkalemia on vascular smooth muscle.

Assessment of students' in-class knowledge of membrane potential, conductance, and smooth muscle response indicated that students lacked knowledge of specific potassium conductance in various muscle types, resulting in divergent responses, such as the canonical depolarization in skeletal muscle versus hyperpolarization during hyperkalemia.

It is reported for the first time that supraphysiological concentrations of testosterone induces relaxation in RA, and this response may occur in part via ATP-sensitive K(+) channel opening action.
