The aim of this study was the elucidation of the role of the xanthine oxidoreductase in the purine metabolism in ischaemic diseases of man. The serum concentrations of hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid and allantoin were determined in peripheral blood samples from patients with angina pectoris,
A practical one-step high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of hypoxanthine, uric acid and allantoin in small (4 microL) microdialysis samples. The rationale for this work was the current interest in hypoxanthine as a marker for energy
The number of hepatic peroxisomes, cores, marginal plates, and microperoxisomes in piglets increases from a low level at birth, compared with other species e.g. the rat, to day 28 of life. The number of peroxisomes is correlated to the activity of uricase, but morphometry alone is not sufficient to
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate efficacy and safety of pegloticase, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in September 2010 for treatment of patients with chronic treatment-refractory gout.
METHODS
Literature searches were conducted using PubMed (1948-January 2012), TOXLINE, International
BACKGROUND
Most epidemiological studies have reported a significant association between elevated serum levels of uric acid (UA) and increased cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, UA is the most abundant antioxidant in the human body. We hypothesized that UA levels would change noticeably in
OBJECTIVE
It is unknown whether women and men with acute ischemic stroke respond similar to an antioxidant regimen administered in combination with thrombolysis. Here, we investigated the independent effect of sex on the response to uric acid (UA) therapy in patients with acute stroke treated with
