The absence of oxygen and nutrients from blood during the ischemic period creates a condition in which the restoration of circulation results in inflammation and oxidative damage through the induction of oxidative stress rather than (or along with) restoration of normal function. Reperfusion injury or reperfusion insult, sometimes called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) or reoxygenation injury, is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to tissue (re- + perfusion) after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen (anoxia or hypoxia). – How much taurine should I take a day for psoriasis?Įven though I have mentioned the term “reperfusion injury” before on this blog in relation to psoriasis I will give you an explanation of what it is here because you will meet with this term further below in this post. – What dosage is effective for inflammation? – Taurine and its effects on inflammation

The other two of 3 most common reasons of inflammation besides the endotoxins or infection are deficiency and toxicity – but this is not the topic of this blog post. A big advantage of this supplement is that it is relatively cheap compared to most others solutions and it is very effective. Taurine is one of those supplements which may greatly help us with that task. It makes sense that we may want to decrease that inflammation with supplements, diet and herbs in order to get out of the vicious circle. Psoriasis is just one symptom of that out of control inflammation. Inflammation is good if it is fully controlled by our bodies, however, once it gets out of control for any reason it leads to various symptoms we call diseases. This inflammation is caused mostly by endotoxins (LPS) – the molecules from gram-negative bacteria – which if not removed by liver induce the inflammatory cascade resulting in production of TNF-alpha, NFkappaB, prostaglandins, interleukins and histamine. Psoriasis as you probably know from this blog is caused by Autonomic Nervous System dysfunction which in turn is (usually if not always) caused by systemic inflammation. You read usually about its positive effects on nervous system, liver (bile production and bile flow), heart but less about anti-inflammatory and possibly anti-psoriatic effects of taurine I am going to present here right now. Psoriasis is not the most common term you hear when you read about the effects of taurine on health.
