Taurine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

After controlling for potential confounders, the association between taurine and levodopa remained significant.
Interestingly, plasma taurine levels negatively correlated with cumulative levodopa dosage in tPD.

We have shown previously that TAU directly inhibits dopamine (DA) and (-)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-L-alanine (L-dopa) oxidation.

Protein carbonyl formation induced by ferric iron (500 μM) and L-dopa (500 μM) was significantly reduced by 10 mM taurine.
Taurine (20 mM) was found to decrease significantly ferric iron (50–500 μM)- and manganese (10 μM)-stimulated L-dopa or dopamine oxidation.
