Lens replacement implants are small âintraocular lensesâ (IOLs) implanted inside your eye to restore focus after cataract surgery. When the natural lens inside your eye turns cloudy with age, it is called a cataract. After your cataract is removed, your ophthalmologist will implant a replacement lens often called a cataract lens.
An organic acid, taurine is derived from cysteine (an amino acid). As cysteine contains sulfur, & taurine is derived from cysteine, taurine is also classed as a sulfonic acid. The structural formula of taurine is C2H7NO3S. In 1827, German chemists Leopold Gmelin and Friedrich Tiedemann isolated taurine from ox bile. Bile is the digestive juice produced in the liver. Stored in the gallbladder, bile helps the body digest food, particularly fats.
In the body, taurine is synthesized from the essential amino acid methionine and its related non-essential amino acid cysteine. Taurine is an end product of l-cysteine metabolism and the principal free intracellular amino acid in many tissues of humans and other animal species.aurine is a nonessential amino acid, which means that it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver. Taurine is found mostly in meat and fish. Good sources of taurine include brewer's yeast, eggs and other dairy products, fish and red meat.
