It has become an annual custom for the Physiological Society of
Philadel phia to sponsor a spring symposium in honor of A. N.
Richards (\876-1966), a research pharmacologist who developed the
classical micropuncture tech nique for studying kidney function.
The A. N. Richards Symposium for 1979 was held on April 23-24 in
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The theme of this symposium was "The
Actions of Taurine on Excitable Tissues." Although taurine was
discovered as a constituent of bile salts in 1857 by a chemist and
an anatomist (Gmelin and Tiedemann), interest today centers chiefly
on the extrahepatic actions of taurine, especially in brain, heart,
and other excitable tissues. Research on taurine is clearly in a
period of exponential growth. We can be sure that the research
reports presented and described herein as the "Proceedings of the
Symposium" will provide impetus for further growth. Thus the report
describing macromolecular receptors for taurine in myocardial
sarcolemma may provide a model for exploring the molecular
mechanisms that underlie the action(s) of taurine. Stabilization of
mem branes and modulation of ion fluxes are two fundamental actions
of taurine dealt with in many of these reports. It is just these
actions of taurine that have been reported by several investigators
as being involved in human myotonia, diabetes, and heart failure."
