Brief Summary: Hyperuricemia is a major risk factor for many chronic diesease Recently gut mcirobiota has been identified as a novel therapeutic target for hyperuricemia Both annimal studies and pilot human trials have demonstrated that administration of prebiotics help delay the progression of hyperuricemia throuh several mechanisms This trial aims to examine the protective effects and potential mechanisms of galactooligosaccharide on hyperuricemia in clinical trials
Detailed Description: Hyperuricemia is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases Recently dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia Animal studies have demonstrated that administration of prebiotics help delay the progression of hyperuricemia through several mechanisms such as reduction in endotoxemia and enhanced production of short-chain fatty acids and hippuric acid
However whether administration of galactooligosaccharide also has a protective effect in subjects with hyperuricemia remain under-explored Moreover the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effect of galactooligosaccharide remains largely unknown
