Rationale and design of a multicenter randomized study for evaluating vascular function under uric acid control using the xanthine oxidase inhibitor, febuxostat : the PRIZE study [PDF]
Background: Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are anti-hyperuricemic drugs that decrease serum uric acid levels by inhibiting its synthesis. Xanthine oxidase is also recognized as a pivotal enzyme in the production of oxidative stress.

Abstract Metformin, a synthetic biguanide, is widely used to manage type 2 diabetes, and is commonly prescribed in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to address insulin resistance and associated metabolic and reproductive disturbances. PCOS is characterised by hormonal imbalances such as hyperandrogenism and anovulation, metabolic abnormalities including

TcMAC21 mouse model recapitulates abnormal vascular physiology observed in humans with Down syndrome
Abstract People with Down syndrome (DS) have abnormal vascular physiology, demonstrated by low systolic blood pressure (BP) and low aortic stiffness that are accompanied by endothelial dysfunction. The TcMAC21 mouse model of DS has many features observed in people with DS, although vascular physiology has not been studied.
