Dietary-induced variations in the urinary taurine excretion of healthy college women were investigated. Data were collected in three metabolic studies in which nutritionally adequate diets of constant composition were fed. Variables included isonitrogenous natural food and semi-purified diets; taurine, cystine and meat supplements; and kind and amount of dietary fat. Observed urinary taurine levels were low and ranges were narrower than those reported by other investigators. The low taurine excretion at the completion of the studies was considered evidence that urinary taurine levels in humans is related to the level of body taurine as well as to the level of dietary taurine. Urinary taurine excretion was shown to be related to dietary taurine intake rather than protein (nitrogen) intake. A relationship between kind of dietary fat and taurine excretion is suggested.
研究了饮食引起的健康女大学生尿中牛磺酸排泄量的变化。数据收集于三项代谢研究中，在这些研究中，提供了营养充足且成分恒定的饮食。变量包括等氮天然食物和半纯化饮食；牛磺酸、胱氨酸和肉类补充剂；以及膳食脂肪的种类和量。观察到的尿牛磺酸水平较低，范围比其他研究者报告的更窄。研究结束时牛磺酸排泄量低被认为证明了人类尿中牛磺酸水平与体内牛磺酸水平以及膳食牛磺酸水平有关。结果表明，尿牛磺酸排泄与膳食牛磺酸摄入量有关，而与蛋白质（氮）摄入量无关。提示膳食脂肪种类与牛磺酸排泄之间存在关联。
