Most people with endogenous excess uric acid production appear to have a salvage pathway, and FA promotes uric acid synthesis through the purine salvage pathway by activating hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) to upregulate the expression of purine metabolism-related enzymes (100102)
Across the positive trials, change was measured at 4 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use, never days
Current avenues of research include randomized trials in assisted reproduction contexts, dose-finding investigations, and biomarker efforts to connect antioxidant and matrix changes to the success of embryo implantation
