Label-Free Uric Acid Estimation of Spot Urine Using Portable Device Based on UV Spectrophotometry
Sensors, 2022 The maintenance of uric acid levels is crucial for the human body. In this study, the feasibility of using portable ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry to measure the uric acid of spot urine without the need to add reagents has been demonstrated for the ...

Uric acid and the cardio‐renal effects of SGLT2 inhibitors
Diabetes, obesity and metabolism, 2019 Sodium/glucose co‐transporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which lower blood glucose by increasing renal glucose elimination, have been shown to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) and renal events in type 2 diabetes. This has been ascribed, in part,

Characterization of the complete uric acid degradation pathway in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Degradation of purines to uric acid is generally conserved among organisms, however, the end product of uric acid degradation varies from species to species depending on the presence of active catabolic enzymes. In humans, most higher primates and birds,

Geometric-algebraic approach to aqueous solutions of diprotic acids and its buffer mixtures [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A closed-form analytical expression for $\ce{[H3O+]}$ has been obtained for aqueous solutions of diprotic acids and its soluble salts. This formula allows to calculate the pH of aqueous solutions of diprotic acids, their buffer solutions, and the titrations of these two by a strong base, from the values of p$K_1$, p$K_2$, and the effective ...

Open chemical reaction networks, steady-state loads and Braess-like paradox [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Open chemical reaction systems involve matter-exchange with the surroundings. As a result, species can accumulate inside a system during the course of the reaction. We study the role of network topology in governing the concentration build-up inside a fixed reaction volume at steady state, particularly focusing on the effect of additional paths.

The Paradoxical Role of Uric Acid in Osteoporosis
Nutrients, 2019 Because of its high prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern. Many known risk factors for developing osteoporosis have been identified and are crucial if planning health care needs. Recently, an association between

Carbon Doping of MgB2 by Toluene and Malic-Acid-in-Toluene [PDF]
, 2010 The decomposition of malic acid in the presence of Mg and B was studied using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) which revealed that malic acid reacted with Mg but not B. Also, the addition of toluene to dissolve malic acid followed by subsequent drying resulted in no reaction with Mg, indicating that the malic

Dietary Antioxidant Supplements and Uric Acid in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review
Nutrients, 2019 Increased serum levels of uric acid have been associated with the onset and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease, and mortality, through several molecular pathogenetic mechanisms, such as inflammation and oxidative stress ...
