Unique to this taurine meeting, the first half of the con- ference was held in the historical, 2600-year-old, industrial city of Shenyang and the second half in the modern, coastal city of Dalian. The participants of the meet- ing, who came from 14 different countries, were exposed to the rich culture, ancient history, and stunning beauty of this special region of China. The meeting featured approximately 100 presentations covering 8 different taurine-related topics (metab- olism, nutrition, organ dysfunction, heart health, cancer, antioxidation and antimi- crobial activities, neuroprotection, and anti-inflammation). The aims of the meeting were to spur interest in recent advances in the taurine field and to provide impetus for further research and growth. Novel findings reported during the meeting sup- ported new actions for taurine, including antianxiety and antitumor activity, modu- lation of miRNA activity, promotion of thioredoxin-interacting protein expression, potential use as a laxative, and potential benefit against immunosuppression. Also, the identity of novel taurine containing derivatives with unique or undiscovered activities opened up promising new avenues to study taurine. Several presentations during the meeting focused on the importance of taurine in minimizing the severity of various diseases, including alcohol liver disease, fragile X, dementia, Down syndrome, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and heart dis- ease. Although taurine was approved several years ago for the treatment of conges- tive heart failure, we await further research showing that taurine possesses clinical value as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of several other diseases. Another important application of taurine is its inclusion in nutritional supple- ments. Because endurance exercise can damage muscle, protein and nutritional supplementation have been commonly utilized to improve the outcome of exercise training. One of the presentations during the meeting focused on the effect of chronic taurine treatment on muscle mass and physical performance in subjects receiving exercise training. Taurine supplementation was also found to improve cognitive function in elderly women with dementia, a finding that may prove useful in treating intractable diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Because taurine plays a fundamental role within cells, perinatal taurine supplementation is important for v vi Preface the development of normal cellular and organ function, proper cellular differentia- tion, and cell viability. One of the hosts of the meeting was the Shenyang Agricultural University. It was therefore timely that one of the presentations discussed a potential use of taurine in agriculture. According to the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs in London, England, heat stress is a major cause of reduced production and actual loss of broilers during summer months. A study presented in the meeting reported that taurine treatment protects broilers against the adverse effects of heat stress. In future meetings, we await further studies about potential uses of taurine in aiding the poultry industry. Additional studies should also clarify the value of taurine and taurine derivatives from seafood sources in nutritional supplements. We are deeply indebted to the sponsors of this meeting for their generous sup- port.
