Daily metabolic parameters of experimental groups. Line graphs show daily water intake (A), daily urine excretion (B), the ratio of urine output to water intake (C) and daily creatinine excretion (D) prior to (day 0) and after induction of bilateral renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in control (C/IR), taurine deficient (TD/IR) and taurine treated (TT/IR) as well as sham controls. Data are means ± SEM (n=5-7 animals/group). * p< 0.05 compared to other groups at the same time point
