When rats have diabetes caused by streptozotocin, their kidneys excrete more uric acid than normal rats, which means their bodies are getting rid of more uric acid through urine. This finding is from the abstract summary - full study details were not available
Scientific Claim
In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, uric acid excretion and fractional excretion are increased.
Original Statement
“In insulin-depleted diabetic rats with streptozotocin treatment, both UA excretion and fractional excretion of UA were increased, suggesting that tubular handling of UA is altered in this model.”
