Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of uric acid in the blood, leading to recurrent episodes of acute arthritis. The condition is often preceded by hyperuricemia and can result in complications such as renal calculi and tophi. Treatment involves managing uric acid levels throug

Purine degradation pathway involves the breakdown of dietary nucleic acids, mainly from meat, into uric acid through specific enzymatic steps. Excessive uric acid production can lead to conditions like gout and hyperuricemia. Humans excrete uric acid in the urine as the final product, while other an
