Serum Uric Acid Predicts Both Current and Future Components of the Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract: Background: Uric acid (UA) is known to be associated with excess adiposity and insulin resistance. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between UA and the factors associated with the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), both initially and longitudinally. Methods: Serum UA was assessed as a potential determinant of concurrent blood pressure, serum lipids, glucose regulation measured via an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), acute insulin response (AIR), and insulin action (M) measured… Show more

“…Osgood and colleagues proposed that the serum uric acid not only correlates with concomitant insulin action, blood pressure, and lipid profile; it also predicts future insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. 23 • In our study ADA levels were statistically significantly increased (p<0.0001) in Obese compared to controls. ADA regulates intracellular and extra cellular concentrations of adenosine 24 .…”

“…According to previous studies, hyperinsulinemia could activate uric acid transporters and increase reabsorption of sodium and potassium in hypertensive subjects [24]. Moreover, hyperinsulinemia increases intracellular pH and activates the renal tubular Na⁺-H⁺ exchange, followed by reabsorption of anions and urate salts [25,26]. However, in the present study, insulin resistance was not incorporated into the analysis due to absence of laboratory indicators reflecting insulin resistance, and further clinical and experiment studies should be done.…”

“…Conversely, two studies with large populations failed to demonstrate a significant relationship between SUA and LVH in patients with essential HT and untreated HT 23)24). SUA is usually associated with multiple risk factors, including HT, obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, all of which are also related to LVH 25). Thus, even if SUA may not be related to LVH in the general population, this association may become evident in selected populations, like in our study, that mainly includes patients with metabolic syndrome.…”
