Insulin Resistance Associated with Plasma Xanthine Oxidoreductase Activity Independent of Visceral Adiposity and Adiponectin Level: MedCity21 Health Examination Registry by Masafumi Kurajoh, Shinya Fukumoto, Takayo Murase, Takashi Nakamura, Takuma Ishihara, Hirofumi Go, Kouji Yamamoto, Shinya Nakatani, Akihiro Tsuda, Tomoaki Morioka, Katsuhito Mori, Yasuo Imanishi, Masaaki Inaba, Masanori Emoto

“…Higher levels of uric acid production have been reported in individuals with visceral fat obesity, and obesity is known to enhance xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity, although the precise mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the associations of visceral fat area (VFA), serum adiponectin level, and insulin resistance with plasma XOR activity using our novel highly sensitive assay based on [13C2,15N2] xanthine and liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. …”
