Inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques is one of the main drivers of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which frequently leads to clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Taurine treatment significantly decreased plaque areas in the carotid artery, reduced Masson's Trichrome staining, and lowered the ratio of anti-α-SMA to anti-CD68 staining in ApoE −/− mice.
