Taurine ameliorates cholesterol metabolism by stimulating bile acid production in high-cholesterol-fed rats

Taurine supplementation has been shown to significantly improve cholesterol metabolism in high-cholesterol-fed rats by stimulating bile acid synthesis and increasing cholesterol catabolism. The study found that taurine reduced serum cholesterol by 37% and hepatic cholesterol by 32%, while increasing fecal bile acid excretion and biliary bile acid concentrations. The taurine-conjugated
