Taurine content of cardiac tissue in spontaneously hyper-tensive rats %K %X The taurine content of car-diac tissue was determined in normoten-sive rats (NWR) and spontaneously hyper-tensive rats (SHR) at different ages from 2 t0 24 wks. Taurine content increased with age in both NWR and SHR. At 4 wks taurine content of the NWR heart was higher than SHR. But the tissue taurine of SHR increased significantly higher than NWR by 6 wks and remained high through-out the age period studied. %U http://www.chinaphar.com/article/view/8475 %V 4 %N 1 %P 21-23 %@ 1745-7254
