Recent advances on uric acid transporters
Uric acid is the product of purine metabolism and its increased levels result in hyperuricemia. A number of epidemiological reports link hyperuricemia with multiple disorders, such as kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Recent studies also showed that expression and functional changes of urate transporters are associated with hyperuricemia. Uric acid transporters are divided ...
متن کاملVisceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus)
Visceral urate deposition (visceral gout) is a common finding during post-mortem examination of poultry. Rare cases of visceral gout may occur in wild birds. A rare case of visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) is reported here. In May 2013, carcass of a little bittern was submitted for necropsy to the Clinic of Poultry Diseases (Faculty of Veterinary Medic...
متن کاملRecent insights into the pathogenesis of hyperuricaemia and gout.
Gout is a common rheumatic disease in humans which is characterized by elevation in serum uric acid levels, and deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint. Hyperuricaemia is the primary risk factor for the development of gout and primates have uniquely high levels of serum uric acid due to missense mutations in the uricase gene. Levels of serum uric acid are known to be highly heritable, and...

0886-1714/99 5.00 © 1999 Int. Union Physiol. Sci./Am.Physiol. Soc. 80 The renal urate handling in humans has been explained for many years by a “four-component model.” The purpose of this review is to reevaluate the validity of the theory behind this hypothetical model in the light of the transport mechanisms that were characterized recently in the apical membrane (brush-border membrane; BBM) o...
متن کاملWhy does gout target the foot? The pathogenesis of podagra
Gout is the most prevalent inflammatory arthropathy. It displays a striking predilection to affect the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1 MTPJ) as well as joints within the mid-foot and ankle. The propensity of gout for the foot was recognised by the ancient Greeks who named it podagra, literally “foot-grabber”. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain this clinical observation. Hyp...
