Does taurine deficiency speed up aging? ScienceAdvances Columbia aging taurine deficiency agingpopulation
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MDJun 16 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Aging is a physiological function change affecting life at all scales, from cell to organ level. The drivers of this alteration are still largely unknown. However, shifts in the concentration of various molecules occur with aging.
Molecular parameters also show changes, but whether these are the cause or result of aging has been a source of debate. One method to distinguish between these possibilities is the ability to reverse age-related changes and prolong a healthy lifespan by restoring such molecules to their former concentrations.
What did the study show? The researchers found that, in aging animals from a number of species, taurine levels in blood declined by 80% or more compared to youthful concentrations. Better glucose control and intestinal transit times were also observed. Multiple immune-inflammatory parameters also improved. In female rodents with osteoporosis and post-ovariectomy weight gain, taurine reversed these conditions.

Aging Fly Cell Atlas reveals how different cell types in the body age at different pacesAs the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, increases. Understanding how the body ages is an intense area of research as it will potentially illuminate ways to promote healthy aging.
