Effects of prolonged guanidinoethanesulphonate administration on taurine and other amino acids in rat tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to deplete tissue taurine, 2-guanidinoethanesulphonate, a structural analogue of taurine was administered in drinking water with taurine-free diet to adult rats for four weeks. As a consequence the taurine concentrations in the blood serum, liver, kidney, spleen, intestine, lung, heart, muscle and cerebellum fell by nearly one half. Threonine, serine, glycine, alanine, methionine, tyrosine, lysine and histidine concentrations increased in blood plasma. Similar changes were also discernible in the heart and muscle. In the kidney and the lung the concentrations of several other amino acids fell as well, though increments occurred in the threonine content in the kidney and in threonine, serine and methionine contents in the lung. Taurine was practically the only amino acid the level of which fell in the liver, spleen, intestine and cerebellum. These findings indicate that 2-guanidinoethanesulphonate combined with taurine-free diet effectively lowers tissue taurine levels, but its action is not specific to taurine. It may be used as a tool to elucidate the physiological functions of taurine in the body. 相似文献
