摘要： Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease that threatens human health. Tea is a healthy beverage with an abundance of benefits. This study revealed the uric acid-lowering efficacy of six types of tea water extracts (TWEs) on HUA in mice. The results revealed that under the intervention of TWEs, the expression of XDH, a key enzyme that produces uric acid, was significantly downregulated in the liver. TWE treatment significantly upregulated the expression of uric acid secretion transporters ABCG2, OAT1, and OAT3, and downregulated the expression of uric acid reabsorption transporter URAT1 in the kidney. Furthermore, HUA-induced oxidative stress could be alleviated by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. The intervention of TWEs also significantly upregulated the expression of the intestinal ABCG2 protein. On the other hand, TWE intervention could significantly upregulate the expression of intestinal ABCG2 and alleviate HUA by modulating the gut microbiota. Taken together, tea can comprehensively regulate uric acid metabolism in HUA mice. Interestingly, we found that the degree of fermentation of tea was negatively correlated with the uric acid-lowering effect. The current study indicated that tea consumption may have a mitigating effect on the HUA population and provided a basis for further research on the efficacy of tea on the dosage and mechanism of uric acid-lowering effects in humans.
