Abstract

In this study, we established both an animal model and a cellular model of hyperuricemia (HUC). Subsequently, we treated these models with allopurinol (ALLO) to study the effect of uric acid (UA) and ALLO on the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).
