Human Endogenous Metabolite

In Vivo Perfusion of the urinary bladder with 1-Methyl uric acid solution shows an increase in the serum total cholesterol level, true triglyceride level, glucose level and insulin level on comparison with perfusion of the urinary bladder with distilled water[1].
Animal Admin Rats[1] Adult albino rats of Wistar strain of either sex weighing 200-300 g rats are used for the present study. Thirty albino rats are divided into three groups of ten each. Group I serves as the control group perfused with distilled water. Following cannulation, the bladder is perfused with distilled water. Group II serves as the uric acid perfused group. Group III serves as the 1-Methyl uric acid perfused group. The animals of this group are treated in a similar way as those of control group (Group I) except that the bladder is perfused with the aqueous solution of 1-Methyl uric acid (0.0024 g/100 mL) instead of distilled water[1].
