Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disorder of purine metabolism which leads to the increase of serum uric acid. Tongfeng Lian granule (TFLA) is a clinical empirical traditional herb prescription in China, is biobased natural product material. To study its regulatory mechanism on uric acid transporter in rats with HUA, the rat model of hyperuricemic was established by oral administration of potassium oxazinate (1.5 g/kg) and adenine (0.05 g/kg). The related indexes were detected to evaluate the uric Acid Transporter after treat with TFLA. In the results, compared with model group, the high dose TFLA can reduce the levels of Related serum biochemical indexes (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). TFLA could reduce the levels of URAT1, GLUT9 and increase the expression of OAT3 in kidney. In conclusion, TFLA can effectively inhibit the level of serum uric acid with hyperuricemia rats, and the possible mechanism related to TFLA inhibiting the reabsorption of uric acid by URAT1 and GLUT9, promoting the secretion of OAT3 and uric acid into urine.

This study used an anaesthetized rat model to directly observe changes in diameter of the vessels supplying the sciatic nerve in response to acetylcholine (10−4 M), a muscarinic receptor agonist, and atropine (10−5 M), a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Topical application of acetylcholine resulted in increases in vessel diameter (baseline: 22.0 ± 2.5 μm, acetylcholine: 28.8 ± 3.3 μm), while topical application of atropine resulted in a decrease in diameter (baseline: 26.6 ± 3.2 μm, atropine: 15.5 ± 3.6 μm) of the epineurial vessels. Mean arterial pressure was not affected by either acetylcholine (baseline: 103.8 ± 1.8 mm Hg, acetylcholine: 102.8 ± 3.2 mm Hg) or atropine (baseline: 104.0 ± 1.9 mm Hg, atropine: 105.2 ± 2.2 mm Hg). These data suggest that muscarinic-receptor-mediated responses can affect the diameter of the epineurial vessels at the sciatic nerve. In addition, muscarinic-receptor-mediated responses appear to contribute to baseline diameter of epineurial vessels at the sciatic nerve.
