Conclusion
In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that taurine could inhibit the injury
induced by ISO by increasing myocardial negative inotropic effect and antioxidant
ability, decreasing the hypertrophic response to isoproterenol and protecting the
integrity of myocardial ultrastructure, decreasing myocardial leak of CK-MB.
