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.
Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body. It is found in the central nervous system, skeletal muscle and is very concentrated in the brain and heart.It is synthesized from the amino acids methionine and cysteine, in conjunction with vitamin B6.Animal protein is a good source of taurine, as it is not found in vegetable protein. Vegetarians with an unbalanced protein intake, and therefore deficient in methionine or cysteine may have difficulty manufacturing taurine.t is synthesized from the amino acids methionine and cysteine, in conjunction with vitamin B6.
