The Epidemiology of Uric Acid and Fructose - 0 views

  • Previous studies have found that high doses of vitamin C supplementation lower serum uric acid via a uricosuric effect
  • fructose consumption coincided with the increasing trend of serum uric acid
  • Fructose is known to induce uric acid production by increasing ATP degradation to AMP, a uric acid precursor (85, 93, 94) and thus, within minutes after fructose infusion, serum uric acid levels rise
  •  
    fructose intake, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated uric acid.

  •  
    Vitamin C shown to be inversely associated with uric acid. This has implications in those with gout, which is caused from xanthine oxidase production of uric acid.  Vitamin C can be used in those at risk for elevated uric acid levels and gout.

Prevalence of Hyperuricemia and the Relationship between Serum Uric Acid and Metabolic ... - 0 views

  •  
    Waist circumference and triglycerides correlate with serum uric acid levels.  Men in this study had higher hyperuricemic rates compared to women.  Elevated uric acid levels were associated with increased MetS in both sexes and higher normal uric acid levels were also associated with a higher risk of MetS.

    uric acid used to monitor liver's response to fructose.  Some have called it fructose toxicity.  The point, is that a high uric acid points to poor ATP recovery (mitochondria) in the fact of fructose.

Fructose: A Key Factor in the Development of Metabolic Syndrome and Hypertension - 0 views

  • HFCS consists of fructose and glucose mixed in a variety of concentrations, but most commonly as 55% fructose and 45% glucose
  • In the United States, HFCS and sucrose are the major sources of fructose in the diet, and HFCS is a major ingredient in soft drinks, pastries, desserts, and various processed foods
  • fructose and glucose are metabolized in completely different ways and utilize different GLUT transporters
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • In the liver, fructose bypasses the two highly regulated steps of glycolysis, catalyzed by glucokinase/hexokinase and phosphofructokinase both of which are inhibited by increasing concentrations of their byproducts. Instead, fructose enters the pathway at a level that is not regulated and is metabolized to fructose-1-phosphate primarily by fructokinase or ketohexokinase
  • Fructokinase has no negative feedback system, and ATP is used for the phosphorylation process. As a result, continued fructose metabolism results in intracellular phosphate depletion, activation of AMP deaminase, and uric acid generation which is harmful at the cellular level
  • Uric acid, a byproduct of fructose degradation,
  • Uric acid inhibits endothelial NO both in vivo and in vitro, [15] and directly induces adipocyte dysfunction
  • Serum uric acid increases rapidly after ingestion of fructose, resulting in increases as high as 2 mg/dL within 1 hour
  • Uncontrolled fructose metabolism leads to postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, which increases visceral adipose deposition. Visceral adiposity contributes to hepatic triglyceride accumulation, protein kinase C activation, and hepatic insulin resistance by increasing the portal delivery of free fatty acids to the liver
  • Several reviews have concluded that intake of both fructose and HFCS by children and adults was associated with an increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome
  • Sucrose is a disaccharide that is comprised of fructose and glucose
  • Figure 2
  •  
    great read and review of the role of fructose in metabolic syndrome.

    sex hormones play a role in the gout.  It appears that testosterone therapy increases uric acid levels and estradiol decreases uric acid levels.  Though, I question this based on the use of serum levels and thus inadequate assessment of aromatase activity.  Aromatase activity does not occur in the serum, it occurs in the tissue, thus saliva would be the best tool.

Uric Acid Stimulates Fructokinase and Accelerates Fructose Metabolism in the Developmen... - 0 views

  •  
    Vicious cycle.  High fructose intake increases uric acid production.  Hyperuricemia then leads to further Fructose metabolism.  This study finds that hyperuricemia upregulates the fructokinase enzyme that is the first step in fructose metabolism.  This upregulation will increase fructose metabolism and increase fat accumulation in the liver.

  •  
    Elevated uric acid levels up regulate fructose metabolism to triglycerides and fatty liver.  This study finds that liver mitochondrial oxidative stress is also evident.  This mitochondrial dysfunction also leads to compromised ATP production and fat accumulation specifically through inhibition of aconitase..

Independent impact of gout on the risk of diabetes mellitus among women and men: a popu... - 0 views

  •  
    This population study finds increased risk, significantly more for women vs men, of type II Diabetes with gout.  This should come as no surprise as the underlying pathophysiology is the same.  Fructose increases Uric acid.  Uric acid is a biomarker of MetS.  Fructose increases abdominal adiposity and eventually inflammation which leads to diabetes.

  • We found that higher SUA level, even within normal range, was associated with an increased prevalence of MetS even after adjusting for confounding factors. This association of MetS risk by SUA levels was more robust in women than in men.
  • Just in the past decade, prevalence of MetS in China has increased about 8%
  •  
    Increasing uric acid levels, even in the normal range, are associated with increased incidence of metabolic syndrome. This was found more prevalent in women, but positive correlations were seen in both sexes.
