uric acid and Weight Gain

uric acid has been researched along with Weight Gain in 45 studies

Uric Acid: An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN.
uric acid : An oxopurine that is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism.
6-hydroxy-1H-purine-2,8(7H,9H)-dione : A tautomer of uric acid having oxo groups at C-2 and C-8 and a hydroxy group at C-6.
7,9-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6,8(3H)-trione : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2, 6, and 8.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

These percentages will be compared among the three arms generalized estimating equations. Note that weight changes in units of pounds were used to define this outcome so that it may be more clear to participants. Elsewhere in the protocol, weight is reported in kilograms. Percentages at each visit are the percent who gained 1 pound or more from baseline among all who were weighed at that visit. Participants were assigned values of 0 or 1 at each visit depending on their weight gain status. (NCT01183689)
