Detailed explanation-1: -Uric acid (UA) is the end product of purine metabolism and can reportedly act as an antioxidant. However, recently, numerous clinical and basic research approaches have revealed close associations of hyperuricemia with several disorders, particularly those comprising the metabolic syndrome.

Detailed explanation-2: -In most mammals a liver enzyme, uricase, degrades uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate and eventually allantoin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in humans.

Detailed explanation-4: -The end products of purine degradation are urea and glyoxylate in fish. Glyoxylate may be converted to glycine by alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase for the reutilization of purine carbons.
