The relationship between uric acid levels, cognition and inflammation in a cohort of elderly subjects.
Background: Uric acid (UA) is the most powerful antioxidant found among human body fluids. With this effect, UA protects neurons from oxidant effects and ensures the continuation of the structure and functions of neuronal tissue. However, UA has effects on the immune system. This study aims to explain the relationship between UA, cognitive level and inflammation in cases with a wide spectrum of cognitive function.
Methods: A total of 67 women and 62 men who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic to obtain a health report were evaluated. The cognitive states of the individuals were determined with the mini-mental state examination test (MMSE). Additionally, serum uric acid levels and simple inflammatory parameters such as CRP, sedimentation, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were measured. According to the MMSE results, two groups were created. Those with an MMSE score of 24 or above formed the first group, and those with an MMSE score below 24 formed the second group.
Results: While a statistically significant positive strong correlation was found between UA and MMSE in all individuals, negative correlations were found between UA and NLR and MLR in men. UA was found to be significantly lower in the group with MMSE scores below 24 and NLR values were higher in the same group.
Conclusion: According to these results, UA seems to have a protective effect on cognitive functions. This situation manifests itself more clearly in men. At physiological concentrations, UA may have an anti-inflammatory effect. It appears that there are complex interactions between UA, cognition, and inflammation. Particularly, men appear to be more susceptible to UA effects.
期刊介绍：
The investigation of basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders has undoubtedly deepened our knowledge of these types of disorders. The impact of basic neurosciences on the understanding of the pathophysiology of the brain will further increase due to important developments such as the emergence of more specific psychoactive compounds and new technologies.
The Journal of Neural Transmission aims to establish an interface between basic sciences and clinical neurology and psychiatry. It intends to put a special emphasis on translational publications of the newest developments in the field from all disciplines of the neural sciences that relate to a better understanding and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
