while experimental taurine depletion was not associated with increased susceptibility to acute hypernatremia ( 1.5 m nacl/nahco3 , 35 ml/kg body weight , single injection ) , there was an increase in mortality ( five of seven versus one of seven , p = 0.05 ) and seizure activity ( three of seven versus none of seven , p = 0.08 ) in taurine-depleted compared to taurine-replete kittens rendered chronically hypernatremic over 96 h .
