Metabolism of taurine in humans In animal cells, taurine undergoes limited catabolism by taurine:pyruvate transaminase or taurine:-ketoglutarate transaminase, which catalyzes the transamination of taurine with pyruvate or -ketoglutarate to form 2-sulfoacetaldehyde (also known as 2-oxoethanesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, or isethionate) and l-alanine or l-glutamate (Read and Welty 1962)
Oxidative stress and antioxidant defense
Alternatively, this substrate may be redirected toward the remethylation process catalysed by the MTHFR enzyme
Taking NAC with meals can minimize gastrointestinal upset
Encouraging Further Research The review also highlights the need for large, well-designed studies that link metabolites, cofactors, and genes of the glutathione cycle with objective behavioral outcomes in children with ASD
The high dose of cyanocobalamin is generally well-tolerated due to the vitamins water-soluble nature and efficient excretion of excess amounts
