GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Uric acid remains the primary predominant antioxidant found in the saliva and accounts for 70%-85% of the total antioxidant capacity of saliva [2]. Uric acid is responsible for scavenging the reactive nitrogen species found in saliva.

Detailed explanation-2: -Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are normally produced in the body and are also found in some foods and drinks. Foods with high content of purines include liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, and beer.

Detailed explanation-3: -High uric acid levels can also cause kidney stones, or kidney failure. But not everyone with high levels of uric acid will have these problems. Other names: serum urate, UA, uric acid: serum and urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Uric acid, C5H4N4O3, 7, 9-dihydro-1H-purine-2, 6, 8(3H)-trione, molecular mass 168 Da, is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides (adenine and guanine).
