Current evidences suggest that hyperuricemia is closely related to the overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid (UA). Curcumin (CUR), a natural polyphenol component extracted from rhizome Curcuma longa, has been reported treat various symptoms such inflammation disease, seems be efficacious in hyperuricemia. In this study, we aimed investigate effect CUR on and kidney hyperuricemic mice. Administration with (20 40 mg/kg) allopurinol (ALL, 5 was given mice orally one hour later after injection potassium oxonate (PO) (300 mg/kg, i.p.) for 14 days. administration decreased levels (UA), creatinine (CRE) blood urea nitrogen (BUN) serum. Meanwhile, treatment effectively inhibited serum liver xanthine oxidase (XOD) levels, further renewed normal antioxidant enzymes activities (SOD, GSH-Px), reduced MDA accumulation Further studies showed inflammatory cytokines productions (IL-1β, IL-18) serum, as well PO-induced activation NLRP3 inflammasome signaling kidney. conclusion, study revealed exhibited anti-hyperuricemic anti-inflammatory effects through suppressing provided evidence treating associated renal inflammation.

Oxidative stress is the result of imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and enzymatic nonenzymatic antioxidants. Biomarkers oxidative are relevant in evaluation disease status health‐enhancing effects We aim to discuss major methodological bias methods used for humans. There a lack consensus concerning validation, standardization, reproducibility measurement following: (1) ROS leukocytes platelets by flow cytometry, (2) markers based on ROS‐induced modifications lipids, DNA, proteins, (3) players redox status, (4) total antioxidant capacity human body fluids. It has been suggested that each method could be overcome using indexes include more than one marker. However, choice considered global index should dictated study its design, as well clinical relevance selected subjects. In conclusion, significance biomarkers humans must come from critical analysis give an overall particular conditions.

Abstract Purines and their derivatives, most notably adenosine ATP, are the key molecules controlling intracellular energy homoeostasis nucleotide synthesis. Besides, these purines support, as chemical messengers, purinergic transmission throughout tissues species. act endogenous ligands that bind to activate plasmalemmal purinoceptors, which mediate extracellular communication referred “purinergic signalling”. Purinergic signalling is cross-linked with other transmitter networks coordinate numerous aspects of cell behaviour such proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis physiological processes critical for proper function organisms. Pathological deregulation contributes various diseases including neurodegeneration, rheumatic immune diseases, inflammation, cancer. Particularly, gout one prevalent purine-related disease caused by purine metabolism disorder consequent hyperuricemia. Compelling evidence indicates purinoceptors potential therapeutic targets, specific agonists antagonists demonstrating prominent potential. Furthermore, dietary herbal interventions help restore balance metabolism, thus addressing importance a healthy lifestyle in prevention relief human disorders. Profound understanding molecular mechanisms provides new exciting insights into treatment diseases.

Background: Gut microbiota, which plays a crucial role in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), might have therapeutic benefits for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Targeting gut microbiota represents new treatment strategy IBD patients. Rhein is one of the main components rhubarb and exhibits poor oral bioavailability but still exerts anti-inflammatory effects some diseases. Therefore, we investigated effect rhein on studied its possible mechanisms. Methods: The chronic mouse model was induced by four rounds 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment. mice were treated with 50 mg/kg 100 daily, body weight, colon length, histological score, cytokines serum intestine, fecal lipocalin 2 concentration determined.

Background: The connection between uric acid (UA) and renal impairment is well known due to the urate capacity precipitate within tubules or extra-renal system. Emerging studies allege a new hypothesis concerning UA involving pro-inflammatory status, endothelial dysfunction, excessive activation of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS). Additionally, hyperuricemia associated with oxidative stress incriminated in DNA damage, oxidations, inflammatory cytokine production, even cell apoptosis. There also increasing evidence regarding association chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: Important aspects need be clarified predisposition its effects order initiate proper treatment determine optimal maintenance level, improving patients’ long-term prognosis their quality life.
