taurine and Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne

taurine has been researched along with Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne in 15 studies

Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne: An X-linked recessive muscle disease caused by an inability to synthesize DYSTROPHIN, which is involved with maintaining the integrity of the sarcolemma. Muscle fibers undergo a process that features degeneration and regeneration. Clinical manifestations include proximal weakness in the first few years of life, pseudohypertrophy, cardiomyopathy (see MYOCARDIAL DISEASES), and an increased incidence of impaired mentation. Becker muscular dystrophy is a closely related condition featuring a later onset of disease (usually adolescence) and a slowly progressive course. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1415)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A milder form of the disease, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), is characterised by the presence of a semi-functional truncated dystrophin, or the full-length dystrophin at reduced level."2.43[Pharmacological treatments for Duchenne and Becker dystrophies]. ( de la Porte, S; Voisin, V, 2005)
"Taurine is an amino acid abundantly present in heart and skeletal muscle."1.51A long-term treatment with taurine prevents cardiac dysfunction in mdx mice. ( Bove, M; Camerino, GM; Capogrosso, RF; Conte, E; De Bellis, M; De Luca, A; Mantuano, P; Mele, A; Morgese, MG; Pierno, S; Rana, F; Rolland, JF; Sanarica, F; Trabace, L, 2019)
"Taurine treatment of mdx mice only altered ncRNA levels when administered from 18 days to 6 weeks of age, but a deficiency in tRNA levels was rectified earlier in mdx skeletal muscles treated from 14 days to 3 weeks."1.48Expression patterns of regulatory RNAs, including lncRNAs and tRNAs, during postnatal growth of normal and dystrophic (mdx) mouse muscles, and their response to taurine treatment. ( Butchart, LC; Filipovska, A; Grounds, MD; Rossetti, G; Terrill, JR; White, R, 2018)
"Taurine treatment also reduced protein thiol oxidation and was overall more effective, as OTC treatment reduced body and muscle weight, suggesting some adverse effects of this drug."1.43Increasing taurine intake and taurine synthesis improves skeletal muscle function in the mdx mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. ( Arthur, PG; Graves, JA; Grounds, MD; Pinniger, GJ; Terrill, JR, 2016)
