However, it increases the level of uric acid in the body, further resulting in elevated blood pressure. Nitric oxide is the most significant vasodilator. It aids in the maintenance of blood vessel flexibility, and when its levels suppress, the blood pressure rises. Some of the high in sugar...
way, and even the number of young women with uric acid exceeding the standard is increasing. The trend of a general increase in uric acid levels is inevitably related to unhealthy physical conditions and incorrect lifestyles. So, what factors can cause an increase in blood uric acid levels?
