Effect of taurine on the metabolism with exercise (ii)

Effects of 20km running uppn taking a low-carbohydrate, high-fat and protein diet on the changes in blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, skinf old thickness, blood components and urinary recordings in five healthy young men were investigated and the changes in these items which occured by taurine inducement were studied by double blind test method. The results were as follows:1) As to the degree of decrease in body weight in 20km running, the case in taurine administration (T. A.) was more than in placebo administration (P. A.) .2) As to the degree of increase in systolic pressure upon 20km running, T. A. was less than P. A. 3) The rate of creatine kinase isozyme (CK-MB) against creatine kinase (CK), which increased after 20km running in P. A., was possible to reduce by T. A.4) T. A. was less than P.A. in the rate of increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) on 20km running.5) In P. A., triglyceride increased after 20km running, but in T. A., it decreased.6) T. A, much influenced the rate of individual fatty acid composition on 20km running7) T. A, was more than P. A. in the secretion of adrenaline on 20km running.8) No changes were observed in other blood components and urinary kallikrein.
