Master's Thesis at Basrah University Studies Reducing Blood Sugar Levels in Animals
A master's thesis at the College of Agriculture at University of Basrah studied the effect of taurine acid in reducing induced sugar levels and some biochemical characteristics in the blood of laboratory animals.
The thesis of researcher Zahraa Abdul-Sattar Abdul-Razzaq aims to test the importance of taurine acid as an antioxidant and the possibility of reducing sugar levels in male laboratory rats with induced diabetes
The thesis included measuring the antioxidant activity by measuring its reductive power and its ability to bind ferrous ions as well as measuring the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide radicals and DPPH radicals
The thesis concluded that dosing with taurine acid led to a reduction in blood glucose levels with a decrease in fats and triglycerides and an increase in high-density lipoproteins.
