taurine and Glaucoma

taurine has been researched along with Glaucoma in 10 studies

Glaucoma: An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine whether taurine and glutamate contents are reduced in damaged photoreceptors in dogs with primary glaucoma (PG) in a manner consistent with an ischemia-like release of both of these amino acids from damaged cells."7.73Depletion of taurine and glutamate from damaged photoreceptors in the retinas of dogs with primary glaucoma. ( Gionfriddo, JR; Madl, JE; McIlnay, TR; Powell, CC, 2005)
"Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of ocular conditions like glaucoma."3.96Magnesium acetyltaurate protects against endothelin-1 induced RGC loss by reducing neuroinflammation in Sprague dawley rats. ( Agarwal, P; Agarwal, R; Iezhitsa, I; Ismail, NM; Nor Arfuzir, NN, 2020)
" The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of RGC death induced by the in vivo transient increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a combined treatment with forskolin, homotaurine, and L-carnosine."3.81Intravitreal injection of forskolin, homotaurine, and L-carnosine affords neuroprotection to retinal ganglion cells following retinal ischemic injury. ( Adornetto, A; Bagetta, G; Cavaliere, F; Corasaniti, MT; Morrone, LA; Nucci, C; Rusciano, D; Russo, R; Varano, GP, 2015)
"To determine whether taurine and glutamate contents are reduced in damaged photoreceptors in dogs with primary glaucoma (PG) in a manner consistent with an ischemia-like release of both of these amino acids from damaged cells."3.73Depletion of taurine and glutamate from damaged photoreceptors in the retinas of dogs with primary glaucoma. ( Gionfriddo, JR; Madl, JE; McIlnay, TR; Powell, CC, 2005)
"Glaucoma is a multifactorial blinding disease with a major inflammatory component ultimately leading to apoptotic retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death."1.51Protective Efficacy of a Dietary Supplement Based on Forskolin, Homotaurine, Spearmint Extract, and Group B Vitamins in a Mouse Model of Optic Nerve Injury. ( Bagnoli, P; Cammalleri, M; Dal Monte, M; Locri, F; Rusciano, D, 2019)
" Similarly, we showed that RGC degeneration can be induced by pharmacologically blocking the taurine-transporter with the chronic administration of a selective inhibitor, which results in a decrease in the taurine levels both in the plasma and in the retinal tissue."1.39Taurine is a crucial factor to preserve retinal ganglion cell survival. ( Cadetti, L; Degardin, J; Dubus, E; Forster, V; Froger, N; Gaucher, D; Ivkovic, I; Jammoul, F; Lorach, H; Pain, D; Picaud, S; Sahel, JA; Simonutti, M, 2013)
