Abstract

Purpose of ReviewThe aims of this meta-analysis were to investigate the effects of orally administered isolated taurine on resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in humans.Recent FindingsThere is growing evidence that taurine deficiency is associated with hypertensi...
