The Uricosuric Action of Protein in Man

  • Chapter
Purine Metabolism in Man-III

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 122A))

Abstract

The influence of dietetic measures on uric acid metabolism was repeatedly investigated (1,2,3,6). In our studies we were able to show that intravenously administered amino acids display a definite uricosuric effect (5). Our aim was then to investigate whether the uric acid metabolism can also be affected under oral application of purine free protein by modifying the dietary protein portion.
