Under normal conditions this membrane bound enzyme exists in the xanthine deydrogenase form, converting hypoxanthine to xanthine, and xanthine to uric acid.
Unravelling the 'uric acid paradox' will be an interesting task.
At the first visit in pregnancy, baseline renal function, liver, uric acid and haematological blood tests are performed.
Change of the rat xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase and uric acid formation by aging and dietary restriction in the liver.
The concentration of uric acid was found to be significantly higher in the human hydatid fluids compared with other cyst fluids.
Traces of uric acid and guanosine also were found in the faeces of some of the argasid ticks, but these compounds did not induce an arrestment response in the bioassays.
Other well-documented effects included raised levels of potassium, blood sugar and uric acid.
Very high levels of uric acid may affect the function of your kidney.
