Article Synopsis
- There’s a potential link between coffee consumption and lower levels of uric acid in women, which may play a role in reducing hyperuricemia.
- The study analyzed data from the NHANES, focusing on women’s coffee intake and its relationship to hyperuricemia, finding that drinking 4 or more cups per day is associated with lower odds of having elevated uric acid levels.
- The results indicated that the relationship between coffee consumption and reduced hyperuricemia isn’t mediated by serum ferritin, meaning that coffee itself has a direct effect on lowering uric acid levels in women.

We investigated the hypothesis that exposure of lungs at the saccular stage of development to hyperoxia leads to persistent growth arrest and dysfunction of 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key energy sensor in the cell. We exposed neonatal rat pups from postnatal day 1- day 10 (P1-P10) to ≥90% oxygen or control normoxia. Pups were euthanized at P4 or P10 or recovered in normoxia until euthanasia at P21.
