牛磺酸Taurine(Z-aminaethane Sulfonie acid)是含硫氨基酸的一种,广泛分布于自然界,在机体内牛磺酸与胆汁酸结合成牛磺胆酸而存在于胆汁中,在心肌,骨骼肌,中枢神经系统中也大量存在。关于牛磺酸的生理作用,还有许多不明之处,在心血管系统方面,它具有使心肌细胞膜安定化作用及正性肌力和抗心律失常等作用。而且近年来有报告:对大白鼠自发的高血压症有抑制血压升高的作用;对原发性高血压患者有降压作用。本文就牛磺酸对循环系统特别是对血压作用论述如下。 Taurine (Z-aminaethane Sulfonie acid) is a sulfur-containing amino acids widely distributed in nature, in the body taurine and bile acid into taurocholic acid in the bile, in the myocardium, skeletal muscle , There is also a large number of central nervous system. On the physiological role of taurine, there are many uncertainties in the cardiovascular system, it has the role of myocardial cell membrane stabilization and inotropic and anti-arrhythmic role. And in recent years there are reports: spontaneous hypertension in rats inhibit the role of elevated blood pressure; antihypertensive effect on patients with essential hypertension. In this paper, taurine on the circulatory system, especially the role of blood pressure are discussed below.
