1. Taurine levels have been determined in eight rat organs. 2. During postnatal growth the taurine content in retina, heart, small intestine, spleen and lung increases with advancing age, although adult values are not reached at the same time. 3. In contrast the taurine content decreases with age in brain cortex, liver and kidney. 4. The taurine in subcellular fractions of adult, 20-day-old and 5-day-old rat tissues exists predominantly in the cytosol of the cell. Taurine content in particulate fractions shows marked variations during development in the different organs. 5.

Abstract

1. Taurine levels have been determined in eight rat organs. 2. During postnatal growth the taurine content in retina, heart, small intestine, spleen and lung increases with advancing age, although adult values are not reached at the same time. 3. In contrast the taurine content decreases with age in brain cortex, liver and kidney. 4. The taurine in subcellular fractions of adult, 20-day-old and 5-day-old rat tissues exists predominantly in the cytosol of the cell. Taurine content in particulate fractions shows marked variations during development in the different organs. 5. Taurine distribution in the subcellular fractions suggests that some of the cellular taurine in the tissues is not freely mobile in cytosol.
