The first Taurine Symposium organized by Dr. Ryan Huxtable and the
late Dr. Andre Barbeau was held in Tucson, Arizona, in 1975. Since
that auspici ous event, nine international symposia on the role of
taurine in biology have taken place. The locations for these
meetings have been Tucson (two times), Rome, Philadelphia, Tokyo,
Vancouver, Mexico City, Helsinki, and Florence. In 1977, due to the
large number of scientists in Japan who were interested in the role
of this unique amino acid in biological systems, we organized the
Japanese Research Society on Sulfur Amino Acids with the
encouragement and financial assistance of the Taisho Pharmaceutical
Co., Ltd (Tokyo). Annual meetings have been held, and the
membership has expanded from 78 to 414 in 1987; the number of
presentations has increased during this time span from 29 to 74.
The symposium in Tokyo in 1982, "Sulfur Amino Acids, Biochemical
and Clinical Aspects" [1], was held to celebrate the 5th Annual
Meeting of our Society. I would like to emphasize that in Japan we
have an active Research Society especially directed to the study of
sulfur amino acids. We have published our own semi-annual journal
entitled Sulfur Amino Acids. Our society is an inter disciplinary
research society since taurine is a highly diversified compound
that interconnects physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology,
nutrition, and medicine. One exciting fringe benefit of taurine
research and the society has been the fostering of contacts with
distinguished scientists from many varied medical fields.
