These spiked rods are uric acid crystals photographed under polarized light. Increased uric acid blood levels and formation of uric acid crystals in the joints are associated ...

The relationship between n Ach and serum uric acid levels was investigated. Others had previously hypothesized that uric acid levels would correlate positively with motivational measures of achievement. In no case did uric acid and ...

... Plasma levels for cholesterol and uric acid were determined. ... Uric acid levels began high, showing a significant decline during decompression. ...

Approved for initial management of plasma uric acid levels in adults with leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors receiving anticancer therapy expected to result in tumor lysis and subsequent elevation of plasma uric acid.

... DRUG ADMINISTRATION ON URIC ACID LEVELS IN UNSTIMULATED ... The mean for serum uric acid decreased from ... (morning samples) and 7.29 ...

In hypertensive subjects, their serum uric acid levels tend to be higher because of decreasing urinary secretion or overproduction of uric acid. Among calcium channel blockers (CCBs) , long acting nifedipine and cilnidipine reveal serum uric acid ...

Several studies have reported that hyperuricemia is associated with the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Increasing evidences also suggest that hyperuricemia may have a pathogenic role in the progression of renal disease. Paradoxically, uric acid is also widely accepted to have antioxidant activity in experimental studies. We aimed ...

In this study, men who graduated from Officer Candidate School and men who were dropped as not satisfactory officer material did not differ in mean serum uric acid level. Enlisted mean with good records and brig prisoners did not differ in their mean seru...

A neutrophil monolayer system was used to study the effects of uric acid on neutrophil-aggregate interactions important in rheumatoid inflammation. No effect on immunoglobulin G aggregate phagocytosis was seen, but hyperuricaemic levels of uric acid were associated with an enhancement of ...

Serum uric acid levels were determined in men graduating from O.C.S., men dropped from O.C.S., enlisted men with good records and enlisted men who were serving sentences in the brig. There were no significant differences in the mean serum uric acid levels...

Serum uric acid levels were measured in successful Marine Corps Officer Candidate School students before and after the 12 weeks' intensive physical training. There was a significant fall in the serum uric acid level of 52 subjects from 6.01 mg percent to ...

Hyperuricemia is currently recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It has been reported that the angiotensin II-receptor blocker (ARB) losartan decreases serum uric acid level. In this study, the effects of another ARB, irbesartan, on [(14)C]uric acid-transport activity of ...

Uric acid is released from injured cells and can act as an adjuvant signal to the immune system. Uric acid crystals invoke strong inflammatory responses in tissues. While their biological effects are evident and the associated signalling mechanisms are becoming clear, it remains unexplained as to why ...

Uric acid, an important scavenger of ozone, has been identified as the major low molecular weight antioxidant in baseline and cholinergically induced nasal secretions. The purpose of this study was to determine the specific tissue source of uric acid in airway secretions. The secretion of uric ...

Paired parotid fluid samples were collected without exogenous stimulation and at 5 different gustation-induced rates of flow. Enzymatic uric acid analyses were carried out to ascertain which of the collection procedures was least susceptible to the effect...

In this study a fall in serum uric acid (SUA) concentration was associated with the intensive physical exercise over a period of 12 weeks. It was concluded that the chronic effects of a physical training program do not necessarily mimic the temporary effe...

Serum uric acid determinations appear to be useful markers of subjects' psychological and physical preparation to meet stressful tasks. Subjects' serum cholesterol levels, on the other hand, appear to correlate highly with subjects' perceptions of doing p...

Necrosis stimulates inflammation, and this response is medically relevant because it contributes to the pathogenesis of a number of diseases. It is thought that necrosis stimulates inflammation because dying cells release proinflammatory molecules that are recognized by the immune system. However, relatively little is known about the molecular identity of these molecules and their contribution to ...

In 460 apparently healthy Dutch elderly, ages 65-79, serum uric acid correlates were separately studied for men and women by way of linear regression analyses. Diuretic therapy, total serum cholesterol (women only) and creatinine clearance were correlated...

The physiological ability to estivate is relevant for the maintenance of population size in the invasive Pomacea canaliculata. However, tissue reoxygenation during arousal from estivation poses the problem of acute oxidative stress. Uric acid is a potent antioxidant in several systems and it is stored in specialized tissues of P. canaliculata. Changes in ...

A simple inexpensive method is described for determining plasma uric acid levels in companion birds. Plasma uric acid concentrations in 33 healthy parakeets were determined by a modification of the uricase spectrophotometric procedure utilizing 50 microliters of plasma. The mean ...

Background. Uric acid is heritable and associated with hypertension and insulin resistance. We sought to identify genomic regions influencing serum uric acid in families in which two or more siblings had hypertension.Methods. Uric acid levels and ...

Elevated uric acid levels are a common finding in patients with metabolic syndrome and in those with cardiovascular and renal disease, but the meaning of this elevation is still unclear. In patients with chronic kidney diseases, it could merely reflect the reduction in glomerular filtration rate: but uric ...

AimTo investigate whether intra-personal variation in serum uric acid concentration is influenced by genes that were described to be associated with serum uric acid levels in cross-sectional studies.MethodsThe study included 92 participants from the isolated community of the Croatian island of ...
