Taurine Deficiency in Blind Cats
In a new study involving mice, non-human primates, and humans, a supplement of taurine lengthened healthy lifespan.
The story starts with cats going blind. It was found that the cats going blind were lacking one key nutrient: taurine. Many years later it was found that heart rate and cardio-metabolic disorders were often caused also by this deficiency. Then, other conditions were also discovered to be associated with this deficiency.
