Apple polyphenols alleviate hyperuricemia by inhibiting xanthine oxidase and promoting uric acid excretion
Hyperuricemia, a metabolic disorder caused by excessive uric acid accumulation, is a major risk factor for gout and related kidney damage. Current pharmacological treatments often have side effects, emphasizing the need for safer alternatives. This study investigated the preventive and therapeutic potential of apple polyphenols (AP) in hyperuricemia management, as well as the underlying mechanisms. A cross-sectional analysis of 15,121 Chinese undergraduates revealed that apple consumption was inversely associated with hyperuricemia risk (OR = 0.86; 95 % CI: 0.73–0.99; P = 0.028). A hyperuricemia mouse model was established by potassium oxonate and adenine for 21 days, and AP treatment significantly reduced serum uric acid levels by inhibiting both the activity and expression of xanthine oxidase, and by downregulating renal uric acid transporters URAT1 and GLUT9. Histopathological analysis indicated that AP alleviated kidney and liver damage caused by hyperuricemia. These findings highlight the dual regulatory effect of AP on uric acid synthesis and excretion, providing new insights into its potential as a natural dietary intervention for hyperuricemia management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
