Notes: Current urate-lowering therapies may cause serious side effects in patients. Thus, alternative treatments are needed to regulate uric acid (UA) levels in patients with hyperuricemia associated with kidney injury, and natural antioxidant sources have demonstrated utility in this field. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of a D. opuntiae aqueous extract on XO inhibition, serum purine levels, and renal antioxidant markers in mice with experimentally induced hyperuricemia
