Summary: The study found a positive correlation between high urinary excretion rate of glucose (UEGL) and uric acid metabolism, leading to lower serum uric acid (SUA) levels. Additionally, high UEGL was associated with increased urinary excretion rate of uric acid (UEUA) and renal clearance of uric acid (CLUA). Furthermore, high UEGL reduced the risk of hyperuricaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Decaffeinated coffee (DC) significantly decreased SUA during the intervention period. However, in non-hyperuricaemic participants, SUA significantly increased with caffeinated coffee (CC).

Summary: The study suggests that elevated serum uric acid (sUA) is associated with poor outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients, with varying effects across different left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) phenotypes.

Summary: The study examined the direct relationship between serum uric acid and ejection fraction in 303 heart failure patients, concluding that higher uric acid levels are associated with a lower ejection fraction of the left ventricle.

Summary: This study found a U-shaped prognostic effect of serum uric acid levels, with abnormal transitions to either higher or lower levels associated with poor prognosis in elderly patients.

Summary: This study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causality between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The results did not find supporting evidence for a causal association between SUA levels and the risk of heart failure.

Summary: The use of SGLT2 inhibitors was found to significantly reduce the risk of gout in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or heart failure (HF), and this effect was not dependent on baseline serum uric acid levels or the ability to lower serum uric acid. The metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects of SGLT2 inhibitors may primarily mediate their anti-gout benefits.

Summary: The study found that both high and low uric acid levels are predictive of hypertensive heart failure, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting blood sugar are also associated with this condition, but low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is not correlated.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the changes in SUA level and free glucocorticoids and inflammatory factors in acute and remission stages of gouty arthritis. A total of 50 acute gout patients were included in a prospective study. Results showed that SUA levels were significantly reduced during the acute flare, while 24-hour fractional excretion of uric acid and 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion increased significantly. The percent change in SUA was associated with changes in 24-hour fractional excretion of uric acid and C-reactive protein, while the percent change in 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion was associated with changes in 24-hour urinary free cortisol, interleukin 1 beta, and interleukin 6.

Summary: This retrospective observational study analyzed the relationship between serum uric acid level and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), focusing on the influence of ApoE gene polymorphism. The results showed that high serum UA levels decreased the risk of LVH in ApoE epsilon 4 carriers, while increased the risk in non-epsilon 4 carriers.

Summary: Sonneratia apetala seeds have been found to have potential nutraceutical benefits in lowering uric acid levels and protecting against renal injury through modulation of anti-oxidant status and inflammatory responses. These seeds also show promise in reversing hyperuricemia-induced kidney damage by activating the Nrf2 pathway and suppressing the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome.

Summary: The VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme, prepared by hydrothermal, calcination, and self-reduction methods, showed high uricase-like activity and peroxidase-like activity due to its composition and structure. The catalytic reaction of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme significantly enhanced the SERS signal of the detected molecule. A label-free, sensitive, and reliable SERS uric acid detection system was developed based on the enzyme-like activities of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag.
