Research has demonstrated that taurine reacts with and neutralizes hypochlorous acid, which is generated during oxidative neutrophil burst. The result is a stable taurochloramine compound, as opposed to unstable aldehyde compounds formed in states of taurine deficiency.


Individuals who are taurine deficient may become more susceptible to tissue damage by xenobiotic agents such as aldehydes, chlorine, and certain amines.[3] Animal studies have also demonstrated taurine's ability to complex with and neutralize the xenobiotic effects of carbon tetrachloride and retinol.[7,8] Research also suggests that translocation of bacterial endotoxins may be a factor in determining a person's response to xenobiotic insult. Even small amounts of endotoxin markedly enhance liver injury from hepatotoxic substances such as carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, and cadmium. Taurine was found to significantly inhibit intestinal endotoxin translocation and subsequently decrease hepatic injury from these substances.[9,10]
