From: Effect of β-alanine treatment on mitochondrial taurine level and 5-taurinomethyluridine content
Effect of β-alanine treatment on taurine content Isolated neonatal cardiomyocytes were incubated with 5 mM β-alanine for various period of time. Intracellular taurine levels were determined as described in the methods. (A) β-alanine treatment reduces intracellular taurine content. Values shown represent means ± S.E.M. of 4-5 preparations. *Significant difference between β-alanine-treated groups and Control (p<0.05). (B) Mitochondrial taurine levels were unaffected by β-alanine treatment. Values shown represent means ± S.E.M. of 5-6 preparations.
