We previously described the only satisfactory procedure yet achieved for separating uric acid and allantoin from rat liver. The procedure was based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extraction, acid hydrolysis, treatment with Hg-acetate, and cation- and anion-exchange chromatography. After separation, allantoin was quantified by a colorimetric method, and uric acid enzymatically using uricase. Since this procedure is too time-consuming, we propose an improved version which avoids the need for anion-exchange chromatography and the complex assay of catabolic compounds. The new method consists of a very fast and simple HPLC separation and direct determination of uric acid and allantoin at 220 nm. The method can be used for fresh tissue or after treatment of the tissue with labeled precursor.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008628 Mercury A silver metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature. It has the atomic symbol Hg (from hydrargyrum, liquid silver), atomic number 80, and atomic weight 200.59. Mercury is used in many industrial applications and its salts have been employed therapeutically as purgatives, antisyphilitics, disinfectants, and astringents. It can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes which leads to MERCURY POISONING. Because of its toxicity, the clinical use of mercury and mercurials is diminishing.
