Uric acid is a chemical the body creates when it breaks down purines. The body creates purines, and some foods and drinks also contain them. Lowering uric acid can reduce the risk of gout and help ...

The same is true for other kinds of red meat and organ meats, like liver and kidney. Pork has moderately high amounts of purines—compounds that produce uric acid when digested. If you have gout, it is ...

The research team observed that the ratio of purines (adenine and guanine) to pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine and uracil) was much lower in the Bennu samples compared to both Murchison and Orgueil.

Most uric acid is produced naturally in your body. The rest is converted from substances in certain foods called purines. If you're diagnosed with hyperuricemia, changes to what you eat and drink may ...

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis, is characterized by diminished bone density and compromised osteoblast function. As current treatment options often ...

This should be taken into account, when interpreting the results. The ROS/RNS react with DNA inducing damage to purine and pyrimidine bases and also the deoxyribose backbone (Halliwell, 2000).

Unlike other cells, activated lymphocytes expand their pyrimidine pool by approximately eightfold during proliferation; purine pools are increased only twofold. To meet this demand, lymphocytes must ...
