Uric acid and arterial stiffness in children and adolescents: Role of insulin resistance and blood pressure

Several studies describe the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and arterial stiffness in adults. Uric acid contributes through several mechanisms to the increase in blood pressure (BP) and adversely affects the insulin signaling pathway. Moreover, SUA predict the development of hypertension...
