Hypouricemic and Nephroprotective Effects of an Active Fraction from <b><i>Polyrhachis Vicina Roger</i></b> On Potassium Oxonate-Induced Hyperuricemia in Rats

Abstract

These findings suggest that AFPR has anti-hyperuricemic activity attributed to the inhibition of uric acid generation in the liver and probably to the enhancement of urate excretion in the kidney, and possess nephroprotective effect in hyperuricemic rats due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
