Uric acid (UA) possesses free-radical-scavenging properties, and systemic administration is known to increase serum antioxidant capacity. However, it is not known whether this protects against oxidative stress. The effects of raising UA concentration were studied during acute aerobic physical exercise in healthy subjects, as a model of oxidative stress characterized by increased circulating 8-iso-prostaglandin F-2alpha (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) concentrations. Twenty healthy subjects were recruited to a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study, and underwent systemic administration of 0.5 g of UA in 250 ml of 0.1 % lithium carbonate/4 % dextrose vehicle or vehicle alone as control. Subjects performed high-intensity aerobic exercise for 20 min to induce oxidative stress. Plasma 8-iso-PGF2alpha, concentrations were determined at baseline, after exercise and after recovery for 20 min. A single bout of high-intensity exercise caused a significant increase in plasma 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) concentrations from 35.0 +/- 4.7 pg/ml to 45.6 +/- 6.7 pg/ml (P < 0.01). UA administration raised serum urate concentration from 293 +/- 16 to 487 +/- 16 mumol/l (P < 0.001), accompanied by increased serum antioxidant capacity from 1786 +/- 39 to 1899 +/- 45 mumol/l (P < 0.01). UA administration abolished the exercise-induced elevation of plasma 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) concentrations. High UA concentrations are associated with increased serum antioxidant capacity and reduced oxidative stress during acute physical exercise in healthy subjects. These findings indicate that the antioxidant properties of UA are of biological importance in vivo.
