Uric acid 是一种重要的抗氧化剂。Uric acid 能清除活性氧(ROS) ，如单线态氧和过氧亚硝酸盐，抑制脂质过氧化。Uric acid 有助于维持血压的稳定和抗氧化应激。

Uric acid is an oxidation product of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN.
