Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzes the oxidation of endogenous and exogenous purines and pyrimidines. In this study, we speculated that individual variations in XO activity are caused by genetic variations in the XO gene. METHODS: To investigate the genetic variations in XO in 96 Japanese participants, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography was used. To assess the effects of these variations on...
