Influence of Uric Acid on Vascular and Cognitive Functions: Evidence for an Ambivalent Relationship by Francesco Baratta, Federica Moscucci, Evaristo Ettorre, Raffaella Bocale, Arrigo F. G. Cicero, Pietro Cirillo, Federica Fogacci, Ilaria Lospinuso, Carmine Savoia, Alessandro Mengozzi, Agostino Virdis, Claudio Borghi, Giovambattista Desideri

“…In addition, some studies support the hypothesis that elevated uric acid levels could reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, slow down the decline of cognition, and delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, while other evidence achieves opposite positions. These discrepancies might reflect a biological ambivalence for uric acid depending on a very complex interplay of factors that include its concentrations achieved in biological fluids, the nature, and concentration of free radicals, the presence and concentration of other antioxidant molecules, potentially responsible for bi-directional effects of uric acid on brain health/functioning. …”
