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.
We humans have uric acid levels much higher than those of other primates, probably because it protects against oxidative tissue damage.
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.
Cerebrovascular fluid levels of uric acid in dogs and the effect of allopurinol.
Determination of uric acid and hematin in a single sample of excreta from blood-fed insects.
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.
