Reykjavik, ICELAND, 9 October 2011 — Scientists at deCODE Genetics and academic collaborators
from Iceland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA today report the discovery of low frequency variants in the human genome that associate with risk of gout, a common inflammatory arthritis, and serum
uric acid levels.
A possible mechanism for the increase of blood pressure
levels from sugar - sweetened drinks is a resultant increase in
uric acid levels which may consequently reduce the nitric oxide needed to keep blood vessels dilated.
In test animals, diets high in polyunsaturates
from vegetable oils inhibit the ability to learn, especially under conditions of stress; are toxic to the liver; compromise the integrity of the immune system; depress the mental and physical growth of infants; increase
levels of
uric acid in the blood; cause abnormal fatty
acid profiles in the adipose tissues: have been linked to mental decline and chromosomal damage and accelerate aging.
Stress resistance has not been assessed however and so the biological relevance of this finding is currently unknown.32 Several IER trials (75 - 85 % ER on restricted days) in overweight / obese populations have reported reductions in various markers of oxidative stress 37, 41, which in one study was accompanied by a complementary increase in the anti-oxidant
uric acid.37 In a direct comparison of IER (75 % ER for two days / week) and CER, both ER strategies displayed equal efficacy in reducing
levels of fast - acting advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) after six months, which displayed a tendency to occur earlier (i.e. at three months) in the IER group.41 Levels of slow - acting (i.e. long term) AOPP tended to decrease in the IER group and increase in the CER group which the authors proposed may have resulted from IER - induced activation of autophagy, a key homeostatic cellular process in which dysfunctional or unnecessary cellular proteins are degraded and recycled.41 On the other hand, a follow - up study using similar IER / CER protocols demonstrated comparable reductions in AOPP in both groups after three months.48 Summary and Future Research Dire

from a nationally representative sample of US adults suggest that coffee consumption is associated with lower serum
uric acid level and hyperuricemia frequency, but tea consumption is not.

I would be relieved to find out that the only significant threat to those in my group (vegans predisposed to gout or just high or even high normal
uric acid levels) is
from sugary drinks, high fructose corn syrup, etc..

from the affected joint for elevated serum
uric acid levels, which would indicate gout.

from hundreds of dogs to identify the gene responsible for high
levels of
uric acid.
