Xanthine {90000594} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Xanthine Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ]Source: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:[ ] Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] - a large number of gut bacteria consume #Uric acid anaerobically, converting it to either xanthine or #Lactate and the short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), #Acetate and #Butyrate. [#Gout] - #Uric acid elimination is facilitated by the enzyme uricase. - Human uricase is a pseudogene, having been inactivated early in hominid evolution. - anaerobic #Uric acid metabolism is widespread among members of the human gut. [1.2] [#Lactobacillus plantarum] [#Lead] - L. plantarum CCFM8661 alleviate Pb toxicity by changing microbiota and metabolites > increase of #Bifidobacterium and decrease of #Bilophila > Increased metabolites include #Taurine and xanthine in colon, #Lauric acid in serum.References Notes[ ]
