Popis: | Taurine has been reported to produce (i) a positive inotropic effect in heart muscle15, 20, (ii) beneficial effects against treatment of congestive heart failure1, and (iii) protective effects against Ca2+ overload27, 28. Compared to cardiac muscle, little is known on the action of taurine on vascular smooth muscle. |
