Accumulation of taurine in the nasal mucosa and the olfactory bulb

Abstract
Using whole-body autoradiography of14C-taurine in mice we have observed a high concentration in the nasal mucosa followed by accumulation in the olfactory bulb at longer survival times. When14C-taurine was administered in the nasal cavity unilaterally, a high accumulation was observed in the ipsilateral olfactory bulb.
