Pretreatment with Jieduxiezhuo decoction impedes elevations in se- rum uric acid levels in mice
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Jieduxiezhuo decoction (JDXZD) can prevent serum uric acid ele- vations in mice. METHODS: Hyperuricemia in mice was induced by intraperitoneally administering uric acid (250 mg/ kg). Concentrations of uric acid in serum were de- termined using the uric acid enzyme m...

Summary: | OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Jieduxiezhuo decoction (JDXZD) can prevent serum uric acid ele- vations in mice. METHODS: Hyperuricemia in mice was induced by intraperitoneally administering uric acid (250 mg/ kg). Concentrations of uric acid in serum were de- termined using the uric acid enzyme method. Mice were treated with JDXZD for 4 days before uric acid was administered. RESULTS: After intraperitoneal injection of uric ac- id, serum uric acid concentrations in mice signifi- cantly increased. However, the levels of uric acid in groups pretreated with 16.25 or 4.06 g/kg of JDXZD were significantly lower than those in the model and normal groups. CONCLUSION: Pretreatment with JDXZD slowed in- creases in serum uric acid levels in mice intraperito-neally administered uric acid. |
