Urate linked to slowed Parkinson's disease
UPI, Published: Oct. 15, 2009 at 2:38 PM http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2009/...0731255631931/ U.S. researchers have found Parkinson's disease progresses more slowly in patients with higher levels of urate. Urate is a salt derived from uric acid. When the body cannot metabolize uric acid properly, urates can build up in body tissues or crystallize within the joints. The study, published online in the Archives of Neurology, found the disease progressed more slowly in patients with the highest levels of urate than in people with the lowest levels.
