There is increasing recognition of the biological importance of
taurine. Disturbances in taurine metabolism are seen in
dysfunction- al states as diverse as epilepsy, cardiomyopathy,
Friedreich's ataxia and congestive heart failure, which combined
with the antiepi1eptic and cardiotonic actions of taurine
underscore the emerging clinical importance of this fascinating
substance. This is the third book to appear on taurine since 1976.
The last book (Taurine and Neuro1oeica1 Disorders, Raven Press,
1978) emphasized the involvement of taurine in central nervous
system phenomena. These actions are further explored in this
volume. In addition, nutritional aspects of taurine, particularly
as these re- late to development, have been increasingly recognized
to be im- portant parts of the taurine story. The marked emphasis
placed on nutrition by a number of contributors to this volume is
recognition of the meteoritic growth of this area. Are the
multitudinous actions of taurine differential expres- sions of a
universal mechanism? There is surprising unity of opinion expressed
by the scientists contributing to this volume, despite their
differences in viewpoint and background, as the reader, tanta-
lized we hope by this remark, will discover.
