Orthostatic hypotension occurs when blood pressure drops upon standing, reducing oxygen flow to the brain momentarily and creating that characteristic lightheaded or spinning sensation
However, cardiac death was higher in the febuxostat group
favoured for longer-term antioxidant support
intriguingly, low-grade hyperketonemia (not leading to ketoacidosis, a rare, life-threatening side effect) may contribute to cardio-renal benefits and other effects, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects [188]
Pyruvate tolerance testing was similarly performed on overnight-fasted mice at a dose of 1 g kg 1 (intraperitoneally), body weight, with blood glucose and lactate monitored from tail blood at 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min post pyruvate dosing
