Supplementation with the amino acid taurine largely reverses the endothelial dysfunction seen in young adult smokers, according to a report published in the January 28th issue of Circulation.

However, it was unclear if use of the amino acid could ameliorate the endothelial dysfunction that commonly occurs with chronic cigarette smoking.
