Establishment of a novel cynomolgus monkey model of hyperuricemia
We established a novel hyperuricemia model in cynomolgus monkeys (A) via oral administration of potassium oxonate, hydrochlorothiazide, and adenine mixed in fruits and vegetables. This model (B) targets uric acid synthesis and enzymatic degradation, and (C) regulates renal and intestinal excretion, thereby stably elevating serum uric acid and serving ...

How URAT1 inhibitors can shape the future of chronic gout treatment: a narrative review of uricosurics past and present [PDF]
Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis preceded by chronically elevated levels of serum urate. In addition to leading to gouty flares, hyperuricemia can result in stone-like deposits of monosodium urate crystals (tophi) being deposited in joints and ...

Serum uric acid as a marker of microvascular damage in systemic sclerosis patients [PDF]
Background: Microvascular damage of skin and internal organs is a hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Serum uric acid (UA) represents a marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

Objective Gout caused by the formation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) deposition disease are two major types of microcrystalline pathologies in adults. They are responsible for recurrent flares that rely on interleukin (IL) 1β via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

A complement to the modern crystallographer's toolbox: Caged gadolinium complexes with versatile binding modes [PDF]
A set of seven caged gadolinium complexes were used as vectors for introducing the chelated Gd3+ ion into protein crystals in order to provide strong anomalous scattering for de novo phasing.

Therapeutic Activities and Phytochemical Composition of Helianthus annuus L. Extracts
ABSTRACT The sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a plant commonly used in agriculture and the fuel industry, as well as being an ornamental garden plant. However, its biologically active compounds make it an interesting plant for medicinal purposes. This review evaluated the phytochemistry of sunflower leaves, stems, receptacles, flowers, seeds, and ...

Early-onset metabolic syndrome in mice lacking the intestinal uric acid transporter SLC2A9 [PDF]
Excess circulating uric acid, a product of hepatic glycolysis and purine metabolism, often accompanies metabolic syndrome. However, whether hyperuricemia contributes to development of metabolic syndrome or is merely a by-product of other processes that ...

Crucial involvement of xanthine oxidase in the intracellular signalling networks associated with human myeloid cell function [PDF]
Xanthine oxidase (XOD) is an enzyme which plays a central role in purine catabolism by converting hypoxanthine into xanthine and then further into uric acid.

Predicted regulation of quorum sensing‐, ralfuranone‐, and RalT‐dependent genes (QS/Ral/p0599‐dependent genes) via a novel TetR/AcrR family transcriptional regulator RalT in Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum strain OE1‐1 was shown here. The regulation of ralT is dependent on ralfuranone, and contribution of RalT is popular with the regulation of some quorum
