Опис
Rhus coriaria L.(Rhus) is a well-known spice widely consumed in the world which has also been utilized extensively for medicinal purposes. The antioxidant components of this plant made it a favorable target for laboratory and animal studies in different conditions such as oxidative stress cytotoxicity, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Rhus (Somagh) is found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide, often growing in areas of marginal agricultural capacity. Rhus is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine because of its assumed analgesic, antidiarrheic, antiseptic, anorexic and antihyperglycemic properties. The fruits of Rhus contain flavonols, phenolic acids, hydrolysable tannins, anthocyans and organic acids such as malice, citric and tartaric acids. Some studies have shown that polyphenols could have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease and cancer and could be regarded as bioactive compounds with a high potential health-promoting capacity. Phenolic compounds inhibit lipid peroxidation, scavenge the superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical, and enhance the activities of detoxifying enzymes.
Uric acid (UA; 7,9-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6,8(3H)-trione) has been implicated as a risk factor and cause of numerous disease states. Some disease states, such as gout, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, have been shown to result when UA levels in the blood are too high. Hyperuricemia predicts the development of hypertension in the general population, and an independent positive correlation between UA levels and the occurrence of hypertension has been reported. Hyperuricemia may also be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
The manipulation of serum UA levels has become a popular strategy in the treatment of a variety of diseases. This is either accomplished through dietary and lifestyle changes or through treatment with UA reducing drugs.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Rhus coriaria L. (Rhus) commonly known as Somagh on serum uric acid levels.
