For example, when cardiomyocytes were incubated with the taurine transporter antagonist (guanidinoethane sulfonate-GES) or taurine transporter inhibitor (-alanine), mitochondrial oxidative stress increased and was accompanied by an accumulation of superoxide anions (O2), glutathione oxidation (GSSG), and inactivation of anti-oxidant enzymes such as aconitase (46,50)
