The results revealed that similar patterns of metabolic pathways were observed among the seven experimental groups of mice with EIF, showing that a total of 44 KEGG pathways were enriched in a total of six categories of KEGG database, including human diseases, organismal systems, environmental information processing, cellular process, metabolism, and genetic information processing (Figure 5

Biochemical Structure Taurine possesses a unique chemical structure that distinguishes it from other amino acids: Contains a sulphonic acid group rather than the carboxylic acid group found in most amino acids Remains in a zwitterionic form (containing both positive and negative charges) throughout the physiological pH range Highly water-soluble and stable under various physiological conditions Not incorporated into proteins but remains free in cellular fluid Functions as an osmolyte, helping regulate cell volume and hydration This distinctive structure enables taurine to perform specialised functions that other amino acids cannot, particularly in membrane stabilisation, calcium handling, and antioxidant defence
