Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Purine Intermediary Metabolism Indicates Cyanide Induces Purine Catabolism in Rabbits [PDF]
Purines are the building blocks of DNA/RNA, energy substrates, and cofactors. Purine metabolites, including ATP, GTP, NADH, and coenzyme A, are essential molecules in diverse biological processes such as energy metabolism, signal transduction, and enzyme

Assessment of the dietary amino acid profiles and the relative biomarkers for amino acid balance in the low-protein diets for broiler chickens [PDF]
Background Research on low-protein-level diets has indicated that even though the profiles of essential amino acids (EAAs) follow the recommendation for a normal-protein-level diet, broilers fed low-protein diets failed to achieve productive performance ...

Gut microbiome and metabolome to discover pathogenic bacteria and probiotics in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
ObjectivePrevious research has partially revealed distinct gut microbiota in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In this study, we performed non-targeted fecal metabolomics in AS in order to discover the microbiome–metabolome interface in AS.

A Pharmacometric Workflow for Resolving Model Instability in Model Use-Reuse Settings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The development of fit‐for‐purpose pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models based on clinical and pre‐clinical data is a critically important process in model informed drug development. This process is often hampered by modeling stability issues that are often multifactorial in nature and difficult to overcome, leading to protracted model

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modelling of Allopurinol, its Active Metabolite Oxypurinol, and Biomarkers Hypoxanthine, Xanthine and Uric Acid in Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Neonates [PDF]
Background: Allopurinol, an xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor, is a promising intervention that may provide neuroprotection for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Reduced Serum Urate Concentrations Despite Unchanged Allopurinol Dosing in Gout Patients Commenced on Dialysis: A Retrospective Chart Review [PDF]
The study investigated allopurinol dosing practises and serum urate concentrations in gout patients with kidney failure following commencing dialysis. Results showed allopurinol dose was most commonly 100 mg, unadjusted upon commencing dialysis. However, serum urate concentrations significantly declined as patients commenced dialysis with more than 50%

An association study of ABCG2 rs2231142 on the concentrations of allopurinol and its metabolites
ABCG2 is a gene that codes for the human breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). It is established that rs2231142 G>T, a single nucleotide polymorphism of the ABCG2 gene, is associated with gout and poor response to allopurinol, a uric acid‐lowering ...
