Resumo
O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura que teve como objetivo identificar os benefícios que a taurina pode trazer aos pacientes diabéticos. Além disso, avaliar dados que comprovem sua eficácia. A quantidade de casos de diabetes mellitus no Brasil cresce anualmente. O país se encontra em terceiro lugar no ranking dos cinco países com o maior número de crianças e adolescentes diagnosticados com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1). Em ranking mundial, o Brasil se encontra em quinto lugar, com 16,8 milhões de doentes adultos (20-79 anos). Diante ao crescimento descompensado no número de casos, inúmeras alternativas de tratamento são estudadas, sendo uma delas a suplementação de taurina.Com base nos estudos apresentados, observa-se que a suplementação com o aminoácido taurina foi capaz de reduzir as complicações decorrentes do diabetes tanto em humanos quanto em animais diabéticos, e que níveis diminuídos de taurina no diabetes relacionam-se diretamente com a hiperglicemia. Observa-se ainda que a suplementação com taurina pode ser eficiente para a redução dos danos causados pelo diabetes. Contudo, ressalta-se, porém, que grande parte dos estudos foram conduzidos em animais e realizados fora do país, dessa forma, ainda existe a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre o tema, com estudos conduzidos em humanos e realizados no Brasil.
This article is a literature review that aimed to identify the benefits that taurine can bring to diabetic patients. Also, evaluate data that prove its effectiveness. The number of cases of diabetes mellitus in Brazil grows annually. The country is in third place in the ranking of the five countries with the highest number of children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). In the world ranking, Brazil is in fifth place, with 16.8 million adult patients (20-79 years old). Given the unbalanced growth in the number of cases, numerous treatment alternatives are studied, one of which is taurine supplementation. In recent years, several studies have been carried out with the aim of identifying the benefits of taurine in diabetes. Based on the studies presented, it is observed that supplementation with the amino acid taurine was able to reduce complications related to diabetes both in humans and in diabetic animals, and that decreased taurine levels in diabetes are directly related with hyperglycemia. It is also observed that supplementation with taurine can be efficient to reduce the harm caused by diabetes. However, great part of the studies were conducted on animals and carried out abroad, thus, still there is a need for more research on the subject, with studies conducted in humans and carried out in Brazil.
