BACKGROUND

Taurine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter or neuromodulator that reduces blood pressure when systemically or centrally administered. We studied the central hypotensive effects of long-term oral taurine administration.

METHODS

Arterial blood pressure was measured after delivering an intracisternal injection of 100 mg x 20 microl(-1) or 200 microg x 20microl(-1) of taurine in normal saline, or 20 micro1 normal saline to anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. Drinking water containing 3% taurine was administered to stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) from the age of 4 weeks. Amino acids and monoamine neurotransmitters in the cerebrospinal fluid were measured at 8, 12, 16, 18 weeks of age in taurine treated SHRSP and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and in untreated SHRSP using high performance liquid chromatography.

RESULTS

Intracisternal injections of taurine caused a dose dependent decrease in arterial blood pressure. Although concentrations of taurine decreased in treated SHRSP rats in an age-related manner, the drug persistently suppressed the development of hypertension. The values of excitatory amino acids and GABA, norepinephrine, NMN, dopamine metabolites, serotonin and its metabolite were lower in taurine-treated SHRSP than those in untreated SHRSP.

CONCLUSIONS

Taurine reduces blood pressure through not only direct inhibition of the cardiovascular center in the medulla, but also by reducing brain monoamine concentrations.
