Effect of Salt Intake on Plasma and Urinary Uric Acid Levels in Chinese Adults: An Interventional Trial.

ABSTRACT: Uric acid (UA) has been proposed as an important risk factor for cardiovascular and renal morbidity. We conducted an interventional trial to assess effects of altered salt intake on plasma and urine UA levels and the relationship between UA levels and salt sensitivity in humans. Ninety subjects (18-65 years old) were sequentially maintained on a normal diet for 3 days at baseline, a low-salt diet for 7 days (3.0?g/day, NaCl), and a high-salt diet for an additional 7 days (18.0?g/day of NaCl). Plasma UA levels significantly increased from baseline to low-salt diet and decreased from low-salt to high-salt diet. By contrast, daily urinary levels of UA significantly decreased from baseline to low-salt diet and increased from low-salt to high-salt diet. The 24?h urinary sodium excretions showed inverse correlation with plasma UA and positive correlation with urinary UA excretions. Additionally, salt-sensitive subjects presented significantly higher plasma UA changes in comparison to salt-resistant subjects, and a negative correlation was observed between degree of salt sensitivity and plasma UA difference. The present study indicates that variations in dietary salt intake affect plasma and urine UA levels, and plasma UA may be involved in pathophysiological process of salt sensitivity.

Project description:ObjectiveAdipose tissue plays a crucial role in serum uric acid (UA) metabolism, but the relative contribution of adipose tissue insulin resistance (IR) to serum UA levels and hyperuricemia have not explicitly been illustrated. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association between the adipose tissue insulin resistance index (Adipo-IR) and hyperuricemia in this cross-sectional study. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, another widely applied marker to determine systemic IR, was also explored.MethodsA total of 5821 adults were included in this study. The relationship between Adipo-IR or HOMA-IR and serum UA levels was assessed by multivariate linear regression. Binary logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the sex-specific association of the Adipo-IR tertiles and HOMA-IR tertiles with hyperuricemia. Participants were then divided into normal BMI (18.5 ≤ BMI < 24) and elevated BMI (BMI ≥ 24) groups for further analysis.ResultsBoth Adipo-IR and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with serum UA (P < 0.001). Compared with the lowest tertile, the risks of hyperuricemia increased across Adipo-IR tertiles (middle tertile: OR 1.52, 95%CI 1.24-1.88; highest tertile: OR 2.10, 95%CI 1.67-2.63) in men after full adjustment (P for trend < 0.001). In women, only the highest tertile (OR 2.09, 95%CI 1.52-2.87) was significantly associated with hyperuricemia. Those associations remained significant in participants with normal BMI status. As for HOMA-IR, only the highest tertile showed positive relationships with hyperuricemia in both genders after full adjustment (P for trend < 0.001). The association between HOMA-IR and hyperuricemia disappeared in men with normal BMI status.ConclusionsAdipo-IR was strongly associated with serum UA and hyperuricemia regardless of BMI classification. In men with normal BMI, Adipo-IR, rather than HOMA-IR, was closely associated with hyperuricemia. Altogether, our finding highlights a critical role of adipose tissue IR on serum UA metabolism and hyperuricemia.

Project description:BackgroundDietary patterns play an important role in regulating serum uric acid levels in the body, but evidence for the association between different kinds of plant-based and animal-based dietary patterns and individual serum uric acid levels is scarce and inconsistent.MethodsWe analyzed data from the sixth wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey. The plant-based diet of 7,806 participants was determined using three consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls, and latent profile analysis was used to identify dietary patterns among participants. Serum uric acid levels were analyzed using the enzymatic colorimetric method. The association between intakes of different types of dietary pattern and individual serum uric acid levels was analyzed using linear regression analysis, after adjusting for confounding variables.ResultsWe identified three types of plant-based dietary patterns, namely, low tuber starches and vegetable plant-based diet (LTVP), high cereal, tuber starches and vegetable plant-based diet (HCTVP), and high legume and fruit plant-based diet (HLFP). We also identified three types of animal-based dietary patterns, namely, high milk and egg animal-based diet (HMiEA), low egg and fish animal-based diet, and high meat and fish animal-based diet (HMeFA). Significant coefficients for participant serum uric acid levels were observed for the HCTVP diet (β = -0.022, P = 0.031) and HMeFA diet (β = 0.061, P < 0.001). The median intake of foods in the HCTVP diet was as follows: cereals and cereal products, 444.83 g/d; tubers and starch products, 166.67 g/d; dried legumes and legume products, 8.33 g/d; vegetables and vegetable products, 333.33 g/d; and fruits and fruit products, 0 g/d. The median intake of foods in the HMeFA diet was as follows: meat and meat products, 73.33 g/d; poultry and poultry products, 0 g/d; milk and milk products, 0 g/d; eggs and egg products, 26.67 g/d; and fish, shellfish, and mollusks, 180.00 g/d.ConclusionWe showed that individual serum uric acid levels (1) might decrease under the plant-based HCTVP diet, (2) might increase under the animal-based HMeFA diet, (3) might not decrease under the plant-based HLFP diet, and (4) might not increase under the animal-based HMiEA diet. Further studies are needed to confirm these associations.
