title: [Relation of serum uric acid levels with basic metabolic parameters in patients with metabolic syndrome during insulin-sensitizing therapy].
abstract: The aim of our investigation was to study the peculiarities of serum uric acid (UA) levels in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) during 6 month therapy with metformin (MF), Rosiglitazone (RG) and their combination. 30 patients with MS (10 males, 20 females, mean age - 35,5+/-9,7 years) have been investigated by all parameters of MS and serum UA levels. Investigated group was divided into 3 subgroups of 10 patients: group 1 - patients on RG; group 2 - patients on MF; group 3 - patients on RG + 850-1000 mg of MF. Results of investigation showed that UA serum levels did not decrease significantly. However, the frequency of hyperuricemia decreased significantly. PPG, basal C-peptide, and HOMA-% IR also decreased significantly. Despite percentage reduction of BMI in group 3 (7,6%), decrease of UA and HOMA-IR was significantly higher in group 1 (18,2% and 37.0%, respectively). Correlation analysis showed that decrease of UA significantly correlated with BMI and HOMA-IR in the whole group (r=0.5674, p=0.001; r=0.5437, p=0.002; respectively); in group 1 - with HOMA-IR (r=0.5753, p=0.016); in group 3 - with BMI (r=0.7821, p<0.001). Obtained results showed that UA levels and hyperuricemia cases significantly decreased during insulin sensitizing therapy.
