Exploration on the establishment of animal models for hyperuricemia and the application of traditional Chinese medicine

OBJECTIVE In recent years,the frequency of hyperuricemia has gradually risen along with the improvement of living standards,the irregular of diet and overfeeding greasy and surfeit flavor.However,hyperuricemia is a disorder of purine metabolism,and is strongly associated with insulin resistance and abnormal glucose metabolism.It is important to obtain a more stable and sustained animal model for the efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).METHODS To manufacture the rodent model of hyperuricemia,the theory of increasing the source of the uric acid,reducing uric acid excretion and inhibiting uricase were used.We observed the influence on the serum uric acid and other indicators of rats induced by some factors:the lipid emulsion,high purine diet,beer with sugar,beer with sugar and high purine,and so on.Then we choose one of the stable and sustained animal models,studying the effects of Plo.E(which extracted from a TCM)on modulating the level of serum uric acid and the preliminary mechanism in this abstract.RESULTS ① At the 2nd week,the level of serum UA,BUN,Cr,TC,LDL-c of rats in the lipid emulsion group raised significantly.② At the 6th weeks,the serum UA in both the high purine diet group and lipid emulsion group raised obviously.③ The effects of Plo.E on hyperuricemia rats induced by high purine diet:After 8d administration,the Plo.E(three dosages)can reduce the UA level,and the middle and low dosages can reduce the TG level.After 25 dadministration,Plo.E can reduce the plasma viscosity,UA,TG,the whole blood viscosity level,the high dosage also can reduce the TC level.CONCLUSION The rats induced by the high purine diet and lipid emulsion can raised the serum UA obviously,while the way of lipid emulsion is earlier and more stable.Plo.E has a therapeutic effect on hyperuricemia,with an activity of reducing plasma viscosity and blood lipid.The above models conform to the pathogenesis of humans,can be used to study the causes and pathogenesis of hyperuricemia complicating metabolic disorder and the related treatment drug screening.
