Oxidative stress, which has been a topic of considerable investigation, is implicated in a growing list of diseases. A health-conscious person should take steps toward the protection against the ravages of free radicals, the active criminals in oxidative stress. Fortunately, the body maintains a sophisticated system of enzymatic and none-enzymatic defenses to control and neutralize free radicals, these defense systems, which are known collectively as antioxidants, are sufficient to protect the body from free radicals and oxidative stress generated under normal healthy conditions. However, in different disease cases, body self antioxidants become insufficient to protect against the over-threshold oxidative stress, and antioxidant supplementation is required to help in scavenging the overproduction of free radicals and consequently maintain the body systems function properly. Taurine now is being considered among the very useful antioxidants that shows striking effects both therapeutically and protectively in different diseases. The present paper therefore, reviews to some extent the clinical and experimental experiences of Taurine as antioxidant |
