High-fructose intake has been shown to induce dyslipidemia and other hallmarks of the metabolic syndrome and taurine seems able to ameliorate these effects. However, the effects of high fructose intake on taurine homeostasis are currently unknown. Here we examined the effects of a high-fructose diet with or without oral taurine supplementation (2 % in drinking water) for 6 weeks in Wistar rats.
