Hyperuricemia, usually defined as PUA >7 mg/dL

UA accounts for approximately half of the

antioxidant properties of human plasma

Masseoud D, Rott K, Liu-Bryan R, Agudelo C. Overview of hyperuricaemia and gout. Curr Pharm Des 2005;11:4117-24.

PUA protects humans from cancer and other life-

shortening disorders.

low PUA is a cause of neurodegenerative diseases

and that raising PUA may be an effective therapy for

these disorders

Hershfield MS et al 2010

Uric acid protects cultured rat hippocampal

neuronal cells from oxidative stress, and

administration of uric acid 24 hours prior to

middle artery occlusion also attenuated brain

injury induced by acute ischemia in rats

How does uric acid perform its beneficial function?

365Peri- and postmenopausal

Women (60.5ys)

Baseline BMD + BMIDEXA

At least 1 repeat measure on average 9.7 ys later

Annual rate of change in BMD was calculated

UA was measured at each visit

Calciotropic hormones and bone turnover markers were measured at final visit only

↑SERUM URIC ACIDANTI OXIDANT

OXIDATIVE STRESS ↓ BMD

URIC ACID ↓ OXIDATIVE STRESS ↑ BMD (NOT

FOR HIP MAY BE MECHANICAL)

↑BMI ↑ BMD

BMI IS DIRECTLY CORRELATED WITH SERUM URIC

ACID MAY BE AN EXPLANATION FOR INCREASE

SERUM URIC ACID↑ BMD

THE HIGHER THE SERUM URIC ACID THE

HIGHER CHOLESTEROLE & TRIGLYCERIDES

AND THE LOWER LDL ATHEROGENIC LIPID

PROFILE LOW BMD

Joanna Makovey et al concluded Higher serum UA

levels appear to be protective for bone loss in peri-

and postmenopausal women and this relationship is

not affected by changes in body composition
