[Influence of a high fat diet on serum uric acid levels in rats]

In present paper the behaviour of uric acid is investigated in serum from rats fed with a 50% fat containing diet in comparison with 3% fat diet as control group. After feeding high-fat diet 5 resp. 52 weeks the level of uric acid is significantly elevated. In the same diet group heavier animals showed higher uric acid levels than lighter animals. In these experiments the age of animals is without influence of the uric acid level in serum.
