Abstract
To develop novel therapeutic methods for both diabetic and renal disorders, scientists had initially focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of taurine in established cell lines and mouse models. Although a large amount of data have been revealed, taurine has been confirmed to be the next step of novel promising therapeutic interventions against diabetic disorders. Taurine appears to ameliorate diabetes 1-related complications in various organs through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-hormonal actions. In type 2 diabetes, taurine has been positively implicated in glucose homeostasis, exerting potent hypoglycemic, anti-obesity, hypotensive and hypolipidemic effects. Of particular interest is that taurine provides protection against renal dysfunction, including hypertension and proteinuria, specific glomerular and tubular disorders, acute and chronic renal conditions, and diabetic nephropathy. The ameliorative effects of taurine against renal disorders are based on its osmoregulatory properties, its association with signaling pathways and its association with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Further clinical studies are required to ensure the importance of research findings.

Abstract
Metabolomics, the comprehensive study of metabolites, has merged as a potent tool for analyzing complex phenotypes and identifying biomarkers of specific physiological responses and has the potential to lead to innovative therapeutic and diagnostic schemes for many diseases. In a former report, we showed that taurine supplementation considerably ameliorated dyslipidemia in rats fed a high-caloric diet. In this work, we examined the metabolic changes that occur in rat serum after they were fed a normal diet, a high-fat diet, and a high-fat diet containing 2% taurine (tau) by NMR spectroscopy combined with a multivariate statistical analysis containing PCA, PLS-DA, and OPLS-DA. We obtained 1H-NMR spectra of rat serum and used pattern recognition to identify key metabolites related to taurine supplementation. We found significant changes in creatine, methionine, glutamine, and threonine as well as in lipids, all of which decreased in the Tau group. To use these changes in metabolites as novel therapeutic and diagnostic markers, it should first be investigated whether these results are reproducible in future experiments. Next, researchers should determine how these changes affect serum lipid changes. This study identified some changes in serum metabolites and demonstrated the possibility of using an NMR-based metabolomics method to explore the effects of a taurine supplement on dyslipidemia in a high-fat-diet-induced rat model.
