Association of serum xanthine oxidase levels with hypertension: a study on Bangladeshi adults

Abstract: Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a metalloflavoenzyme associated with the uric acid formation in purine metabolism. Serum XO has been suggested to be associated with liver and kidney dysfunction, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is limited information on the relationship between serum XO levels and hypertension. This study aimed to assess the relationship between serum XO levels and hypertension in Bangladeshi adults. In this study, fasting blood samples were collected from 312 participants (225 ma… Show more

“…Potential mechanisms include the influence of sex hormones and genetic differences between the sexes ( 53 , 54 ). Studies have shown a positive and independent correlation between xanthine oxidase (XO) levels and hypertension ( 55 ). XO is a UA-producing enzyme, and estradiol in women can inhibit isolated XO ( 30 ), resulting in a stronger association of SBP with hyperuricemia in girls.…”

“…A multitude of epidemiological and experimental studies have established a connection between HUA and HTN. These studies suggest that HUA plays a signi cant role in the development of HTN, highlighting the frequent coexistence of these two disorders [9]. The prevalence of HUA is notably higher in hypertensive patients compared to the general population, with 35% in men and 43% in women [10], while it is much lower in normotensive individuals.…”

“…The blood samples were centrifuged by an ultracentrifuge machine (Sorvall ST 8R Centrifuge, Thermo Scientific, Germany) and serum samples were stored at − 20 °C at the Departmental laboratory until biomarker analysis. Serum level of uric acid (SUA), fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum creatinine (SCr), serum albumin (SA), serum urea (SU), serum total protein (STP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured by colorimetric method using commercially available kits (Human Diagnostic, Germany) with the biochemistry analyzer (Humalyzer 3000, USA) [ 32 34 ]. The accuracy of the measurements was maintained with regular standard calibration.…”
