Effects of carbohydrates on uric acid metabolism.

The rapid infusion of fructose, but not of diffusely inhibit renal proximal tubular glucose or galactose, to normal male function. Data are presented that suggest volunteers produced a 30% rise in serum that fructose infusions may concomitantly uric acid. All three hexoses increased the stimulate the conversion of preformed renal excretion of uric acid, phosphate, adenine nucleotides to uric acid while bicarbonate, and glucose. While only inhibiting de novo uric acid synthesis. fructose clearly increased uric acid proChronic ingestion of a fructose-rich diet duction, all three hexoses appeared to did not alter serum or urinary uric acid.
