Abstract in brief

  • Taurine has been shown to help prevent metabolic syndrome by reducing triglycerides, improving insulin resistance, and lowering harmful cholesterol levels while increasing good cholesterol.
  • It also helps regulate blood pressure by affecting systems like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and kallikreinkinin systems, which are involved in blood pressure control.
  • The research includes studies from lab, animal, and some human trials, suggesting taurine's potential to combat obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension through various metabolic and molecular mechanisms.]
