Excretory Function of Intestinal Tract Enhanced in Kidney Impaired Rats Caused by Adenine

Figure 4

Uric acid in serum in kidney impaired group increased to a higher level (mean ± SD, ). The concentration of uric acid in kidney impaired group was  μg/mL (μM), much higher than that in normal rat serum ( μg/mL (.5 μM), ). Rats in kidney impaired group were intragastrically treated with adenine (400 mg/kg × 5 days), while those in normal group were treated with normal saline of the same volume. versus normal group, , Student’s -test.
