A substantial increase in the plasma concentration of growth hormone was reported in some epileptic patients during taurine tolerance testing (oral dose of 50 mg per kg body mass per day), suggesting a potential to stimulate the hypothalamus and to modify neuroendocrine function.
Informouse dun incremento substancial na concentración plasmática de hormona do crecemento (GH) nalgúns pacientes epilépticos durante a proba de tolerancia á taurina (dose oral de 50 mg/kg de peso corporal/día), o que suxire que ten un potencial para estimular o hipotálamo e modificar a función neuroendócrina.
