Mechanism and treatment of hypertriglyceridaemia in gout.

Abstract: It was possible to demonstrate significant reductions of serum triglyceride in patients with gout by reducing either their alcohol intake or body weight. Reduction of serum uric acid by probenecid had no effect on serum triglyceride or cholesterol. Similarly, allopurinol had no significant effect on serum triglycetide, but a significant fall of serum cholesterol was observed.

“…A study suggested that higher intracellular uric acid levels could induce mitochondrial translocation of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase subunit, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4, further leading to increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and citrate to release to the cytosol, ultimately promoting to the synthesis of lipid and TG [42]. Besides, animal experiments showed that the activity of lipase in high SUA levels group was lower than that in low SUA levels group [43]. Increased SUA levels may inhibit the decomposition of serum TG by reducing the activity of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of TG, leading to a higher incidence of hypertriglyceridaemia in participants with high SUA levels [12].…”

“…That such a search revealed relatively so little suggests that the association between the hyperuricaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia is not predominantly genetic. Of the other factors that might contribute, the two obvious ones are obesity and alcohol consumption,10 and there is good evidence that each of these, in appropriate individuals, can and does contribute to both hypertriglyceridaemia and hyperuricaemia. Obesity, especially abdominal obesity,11 12 and excessive weight gain in young adulthood,13 have been associated with an increase in both the urate and triglyceride concentrations.…”

“…In 11 obese patients with gout, a mean weight loss of 5 kg resulted in a mean SUA level reduction of 0.06 mmol/L. 32 In 13 obese patients with gout, a mean weight loss of 7.7 kg resulted in a substantial SUA reduction of 0.1 mmol/L. 23 In the study of 12,379 men with high cardiovascular risk observed over a 7-year period, the effect of weight gain of ⩾10 kg on achieving normouricemia increased by approximately 4-fold.…”
