Results: The results showed that CRP was significantly decreased in five of the treated groups compared with the control with the exception of the group treated with taurine alone (Group 2), and that treated with combined taurine and caffeine (Group 6). Treatment was done once daily for 21 days and blood was finally collected via cardiac puncture for the assay of CRP and calcium while the animals were under anaesthesia.
#Taurine dosage for atrial fibrillation plus#
Group 1 was treated with 10 ml/kg of normal saline, Groups 2 and 3 were given 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg of taurine respectively, groups 4 and 5 received 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of caffeine respectively while group 6 was administered taurine (200 mg/kg) and caffeine (15 mg/kg), groups 7 and 8 were treated with taurine (200 mg/kg) plus nifedipine (10 mg/kg) and taurine (200 mg/kg) plus furosemide (20 mg/kg) respectively while grup 9 was given taurine plu caffeine plus nifdipine plus furosemide. The animals were divided into nine groups consisting of six animals each. Method: Fifty four rats weighing 120-140 g were used for these studies. There is paucity of information on the effect of the combined administration of taurine and caffeine on C-reactive protein (CRP) – a marker of inflammation and plasma calcium level in rats.Īim: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of combined taurine and caffeine on the plasma level of CRP, Ca2+ as well as the effect of nifedipine on calcium level.
Taurine on the other hand, is an amino acid which has the capacity to promote neural development, osmoregulation and neuroprotection. It has been shown to possess psychoactive properties because it increases alertness, energy and ability to concentrate at moderate doses. Background: Caffeine is a component of several beverages such as coffee and tea.
