title: A new case with hereditary xanthinuria: response to exercise.
abstract: The concentration of purines in plasma and urine from a 37-yr-old healthy man with a very low plasma urate concentration was measured by HPLC. A persistent increase in xanthine and a slight elevation of hypoxanthine was found. The metabolic response to intensive treadmill running and long distance running was investigated. The hypoxanthine concentration increased to about the same level as in healthy controls, but the elimination from plasma was considerably slower. The high xanthine level was practically unchanged by exercise.
