Taurine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Perfusion with 20-75 mM 4-AP for 12.5 min resulted in a massive increase in extracellular glutamate (up to 20-fold), smaller increases in aspartate and taurine (up to 10-fold) and slight increments in glutamine, alanine, glycine and GABA.

Taurine , at a concentration of 25 mM, decreased the stimulatory effect of 4-aminopyridine from 170 to 49%, in the presence of 2.5 mM calcium.
The results suggest that taurine antagonizes the release of [3H]dopamine induced by 4-aminopyridine through an effect mediated by calcium.
When the concentration of calcium in the superfusion medium was reduced to 0.1 mM, taurine had a complete inhibitory effect on the release of [3H]dopamine stimulated by 4-aminopyridine.
