NOTE. Amino acids were measured in CSF samples obtained via indwelling cisterna magna catheters at coma stages of encephalopathy in 6 ALF rats treated with saline infusions versus 6 ALF rats treated with OA (330 mg/kg/h) at equivalent time points. \*Values significantly different from saline-treate
Taurine (Tau), an amino acid that abounds in brain, has been implicated in inhibitory neuromodulation and osmoregulation, the latter function being manifested by Tau release along with osmotically obligated water in response to brain tissue edema.
