Thyroid Hormone-Regulated Expression of Period2 Promotes Liver Urate Production.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between thyroid hormones and serum urate is unclear. Our aim is to analyze the correlation between uric acid and thyroid hormones in gout patients and to explore the effect and mechanism of triiodothyronine on liver uric acid production. Eighty men patients with gout were selected to analyze the correlation between blood urate and thyroid function-related hormone levels. Stepwise multiple linear regression was used to analyze factors affecting blood urate in patients with gout. Levels of urate in serum, liver, and cell culture supernatant were measured after triiodothyronine treatment. Purine levels (adenine, guanine, and hypoxanthine) were also measured. Expression levels of Period2 and nucleotide metabolism enzymes were analyzed after triiodothyronine treatment and Perio
