A study by Agca et al. [200] demonstrated that a 2% (w/v) taurine supplementation in drinking water for 8 weeks administered to streptozotocin-treated rats ameliorated the diabetes-induced increase of the transcription factor NF-κβ, involved in inflammatory processes, and the diabetes-induced reduction of Nrf2 and glucose transporters Glut1 and Glut3 in the brain. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
