Filter by:The deleterious effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) were well established. Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent for primary or secondary prophylaxis of CVD. Only a few short-term studies in the elderly suggested low-dose aspirin, e.g., 75-100 mg/day, increases serum urate by reducing urinary uric acid excretion. However, monitoring of renal function is currently not recommended. Little is known about the long-term effect of low dose aspirin on uric acid. The principal aim of this prospective cohort study therefore is to evaluate the renal effects of long-term aspirin (100 mg/d) administration in Chinese patients with coronary artery disease or other CVDs.
Three separate interventions will be undertaken with the primary outcome of improving pulse wave velocity. Initially, age and BMI-matched men and post-menopausal women, all with type 2 diabetes, will be treated with allopurinol (20 men, 20 women) for 6 months, in order to reduce serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations relative to placebo (10 men, 10 women). In a second intervention, dietary fructose will be restricted for a period of 6 months in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects who will maintain a stable weight (20 men, 20 women). In a third intervention, dietary fructose will be restricted for a period of 6 months in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects who will achieve a caloric deficit and weight reduction (20 men, 20 women). At the beginning and end of each of the studies, measures of arterial stiffness will be combined with assessments of endothelial function (flow-mediated dilation and insulin stimulated leg blood flow), measurements of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=26) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). In this 12-week placebo-controlled 2 x 2 crossover dietary intervention, the investigators randomized participants to consume 240 mL (8 ounces) daily of either placebo (artificial cherry-flavored, anthocyanin-free beverage) or TCJ for 4 weeks, followed by a 4-week washout period, then consumption of the alternate beverage for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the investigators determined the effect of TCJ in at-risk participants on markers of uricemia, lipidemia, glycemia, and inflammation.
Unhealthy diet has long been associated with high uric acid levels and gout. The DASH diet may lower uric acid levels. This study will examine the effects of the DASH diet on uric acid in adults with a history of gout.
Hyperuricemia is an additional risk factor for cardiovascular disease, associating with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in individuals with metabolic syndrome. The effect of urate-lowering therapies on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction remains unclear. The study is conducted to investigate whether febuxostat or benzbromarone might improve left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in individuals with metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia
Metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia were both associated with inflammation, leading to diversities of cardiovascular disease such as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, but the relationship among these entities remained unclear. The aim of the present study focuses on the association among hyperuricemia, diastolic dysfunction and inflammatory biomarkers in apparently healthy individuals with metabolic syndrome
Hyperuricemia is associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risks in diverse of the population. Whether the dose-response effects on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic risks is unclear. The present study is conducted to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid and the prevalence metabolic syndrome and left ventricular hypertrophy.
The prevalence of hyperuricemia has rarely been investigated in developing countries Hyperuricemia, or raised serum uric acid (SUA), is the condition closely associated with gout due to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in peripheral joints and soft tissues. Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk for incident hypertension, independent of traditional hypertension risk factors. This risk appears more pronounced in younger individuals and women. Cross-sectional studies show an association of hyperuricemia with the presence of CKD. Insulin resistance plays a potentially key role in the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome, type 2 Diabetes and hyperuricemia. Furthermore, it is likely that hyperuricemia and insulin resistance share a bidirectional causal effect. The rationale of this study is to determine prevalence of hyperuricemia in Pakistan.
To investigate the Effect of Hyperuricaemia on Chronic Renal Disease and Intervention
To investigate the pharmacodynamics and safety of FYU-981 administered orally once a day for 14 weeks, to uric acid-overproduction type or uric acid-underexcretion type of male hyperuricemic outpatients with or without gout.
