Abstract

Although hyperuricemia is a frequent finding in insulin-resistant states, insulin's effect on renal uric acid (UA) handling is not known. In 20 healthy volunteers, diastolic blood pressure, body weight, and fasting plasma insulin were positively (and age was negatively) related to fasting plasma UA concentrations, together accounting for 53% of their variability. During an insulin clamp, urine flow was lower than during fasting conditions (1.01 +/- 0.12 vs. 1.56 +/- 0.32 ml/min, P = 0.04), whereas creatinine clearance was unchanged (129 +/- 7 and 131 +/- 9 ml/min, P = not significant). Hyperinsulinemia did not alter serum UA concentrations (303 +/- 13 vs. 304 +/- 12 microM) but caused a significant decrease in urinary UA excretion [whether expressed as absolute excretion rate (1.66 +/- 0.21 vs. 2.12 +/- 0.23 mumol/min, P = 0.03), clearance rate (5.6 +/- 0.8 vs. 7.3 +/- 0.8 ml/min, P = 0.03), or fractional excretion (4.48 +/- 0.80 ml/min vs. 6.06 +/- 0.64%, P < 0.03)]. Hyperinsulinemia was also associated with a 30% (P < 0.001) fall in urine Na excretion. Fractional UA excretion was related to Na fractional excretion under basal conditions (r = 0.59, P < 0.01) and during the insulin period (r = 0.53, P < 0.02). Furthermore, the insulin-induced changes in fractional UA and Na excretion correlated with one another (r = 0.66, P < 0.001). Physiological hyperinsulinemia acutely reduces urinary UA and Na excretion in a coupled fashion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
