摘要：Plasma amino acids were analyzed in three patients with myotonic dystrophy, and the therapeutic effect of taurine, a cell membrane-stabilizing agent, on plasma amino acids and clinical data were analyzed. Pretreatment plasma amino acid analysis in the three cases revealed a decreased level of methionine compared to levels in healthy controls. In Case 1, taurine administration resulted in a further decrease in methionine levels. We were unable to demonstrate any improvement in clinical symptoms.
