Taurine is white crystal or crystalline powder, odorless, slightly acidic flavor; soluble in water, 1 part taurine can be dissolved in 15.5 parts water at 12ºC; slightly soluble in 95% ethanol, solubility at 17ºC is 0.004; insoluble in anhydrous ethanol, ether and acetone.Taurine is a nonprotein sulfur-containing amino acid and smell-less, sourish and innoxious white acicular crystal. It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and, in small amounts, in the tissues of many animals, including humans.
1. Strong liver and gallbladder effect: guinea pig experiments show that taurine can relieve bile clogging, showing a choleretic effect.
2. Antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects: lowering body temperature by acting on the central 5-ht system or the catecholamine system
3. Antihypertensive effect
4. Cardiac and antiarrhythmic effects
5. Hypoglycemic effect
