Yes - Marco... Thanks for these.
Important to know about the benefits of Taurine and glad to see you referencing these studies.
About 20 years ago, I offered a post on this topic... and since then, many reports have been published.
Here's the original.... [afibbers.org] plus more in the archives.

In the present study, the therapy effects and partly mechanisms were investigated. AF animal model was established by intravenous administered with the mixture of acetylcholine (Ach) and CaCl2 (66 μg/mL + 10 mg/mL) (i.v.) for 7 days. The actions of taurine (99 mg/kg∙d, introgastric administration) on the levels of Hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-9, AngII, the extent of the fibrosis and ultrastructural changes in left atrial were studied. The data showed that the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, AngII and the plasma levels of Hs-CRP and MMP-9 were significantly elevated in automatic recovery group relative to the control group (p < 0.01), which were all decreased by taurine administration (p < 0.01) similar to Verapamil treatment.

FWIW, I used 4g taurine/day for 2.5 years initially and 2g taurine a day for the next 16 years till present as part of my afib remission program. My Hs-CRP is always < 0.3 mg/L (goal <1.0 and mine is as low as this lab's test goes), IL-6 runs 0.4-0.9 pg/mL (goal < 4.5), last TNF-α was 1.2 pg/mL (goal < 3.0).
