Uric Acid and Tissue Repair

Abstract: Uric acid, a metabolic product of purines, may exert a role in tissue healing. In this review we will explore its role as an alarm initiating the inflammatory process that is necessary for tissue repair, as a scavenger of oxygen free radicals, as a mobilizer of progenitor endothelial cells and as supporter of adaptive immune system.

“…Ridi and Tallima [ 42 ] in their review pointed out that uric acid is the major antioxidant molecule in the blood, which is essential to counteract oxidative damage due to infections and toxicosis. Uric acid has also been reported able to stimulate the immune responses of animals against the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms [ 43 ]. Overall, supplementation of commercial broiler feeds with multistrain probiotics seemed beneficial to reduce the invasion of infectious agents [ 44 ], resulting in less production of uric acids (as part of defense mechanisms against infections).…”

“…This and other reports challenged the view stating that uric acid elicits cardiovascular and kidney diseases via impairing endothelial integrity and function [13], [14], [15]. Indeed, uric acid may exert fundamental roles in tissue healing via initiating the inflammatory process that is necessary for tissue repair, scavenging oxygen free radicals, and mobilizing progenitor endothelial cells [15].…”

“…It can be divided into three phases: 1 st or exudative inflammation; 2 nd or proliferative/ fibroblastic (granulation tissue with deposition of extracellular matrix); 3 rd or remodeling/maturation [1][2][3][4][5][6] . The knowledge of each of these stages is important to guide appropriate adjuvant therapy to improve biological reaction 6 .…”
