Effect of uric acid on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in hepatocytes

Y. Yang, Zhou, Y., Cheng, S., Sun, J. L., Yao, H., Ma, L., Yang, Y., Zhou, Y., Cheng, S., Sun, J. L., Yao, H., and Ma, L., Effect of uric acid on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in hepatocytes, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Here, we investigated the effect of uric acid (UA) on hepatocyte mitochondria. Hepatocytes cultured in vitro were treated with varying concentrations of UA. The change in apoptotic activity was detected by flow cytometry. The DNA damage index 8-hydroxy-deoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG) and mitochondrial function indices succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were detected by enzyme assays. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation was confirmed by a dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate assay.
