A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid and allantoin based on isocratic reversed-phase chromatography. This HPLC-method additionally allows the direct determination with UV-detection of inosine-5'-phosphate, uridine, thymine, orotic acid, allopurinol and oxipurinol, besides hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid in the same chromatographic r...
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), a complex molybdo/iron-sulfur/flavoprotein, catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine followed by oxidation of xanthine to uric acid with concomitant reduction of NAD+. The 2.7 A resolution structure of Rhodobacter capsulatus XDH reveals that the bacterial and bovine XDH have highly similar folds despite differences in subunit composition. The NAD+ bindin...
The recent article describing a positive association between serum uric acid and several inflammatory markers in the InCHIANTI study addresses the issue of whether uric acid is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Uric acid is an antioxidant and appears to contribute to salutary immune reactions, but the cardiovascular significance of rises in its serum level remains poorly understood. I ...
Vascular oxidative stress has been shown to be a potent factor in the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction. Despite current optimal evidence-based therapy, mortality from various cardiovascular disorders remains high. The search for newer, novel ways of attenuating endothelial dysfunction has yielded several new and exciting possibilities, one of which is the manipulation of urate levels ...
We hypothesized that in hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), flow-induced arteriolar constriction is due to an enhanced generation of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species, causing an impairment of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin mediation of the response. Changes in diameter of isolated, pressurized (at 80 mm Hg) gracilis muscle arterioles (diameter approximately 170 microm) from control and met...
Arterial hypertension is associated with increased levels of reactive oxygen species, which may scavenge endothelium-derived NO and thereby diminish its vasorelaxant effects. However, the quantitatively relevant source of reactive oxygen species is unclear. Thus, this potential pathomechanism is not yet pharmacologically targetable. Several enzymatic sources of reactive oxygen species have been...
Xanthinuria is a familial disorder of purine metabolism that results from a marked deficiency of xanthine oxidase (EC 1.2.3.2) activity. We report here the clinical and biochemical features of a new case of xanthinuria. Serum urate concentration was 0.8 mg/i 00 ml, urinary uric acid excretion was 16 mg per day, urinary oxypurme excretion was 1630 mol per day, and total purine excretion was 314 ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and more recently in mitochondrial alterations in skeletal muscle of diabetic mice. However, so far the exact sources of ROS in skeletal muscle have remained elusive. Aiming at better understanding the causes of mitochondrial alterations in diabetic muscle, we designed this study to characterize the sites ...
BACKGROUND The recent discovery that nitrite is an intrinsic vasodilator and signaling molecule at near-physiological concentrations has raised the possibility that nitrite contributes to hypoxic vasodilation and to the bioactivity of nitroglycerin and mediates the cardiovascular protective effects of nitrate in the Mediterranean diet. However, important questions of potency, kinetics, mechanis...
