Abstract

Obesity and consumption of a high fat diet are risk factors for the metabolic syndrome and is thought to confer changes in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Taurine supplementation has been shown to be able to counteract at least part of the metabolic changes induced by consumption of a high fat diet, yet little is known about the effect of taurine supplementation upon mitochondrial function. Here we assessed the effect of taurine supplementation on glucose and lipid parameters as well as skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in a high fat diet rat model.
