Recently, emphasis has been focused on the relationship between taurine and neurological diseases (Barbeau and Huxtable, 1978). Because of the high concentration of taurine in mammalian brain (Jacobsen and Smith, 1968), taurine may have a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role in the central nervous system.
