Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi Art, I looked up your question.. this is the meaning: Purine riboswitches are RNA structures that regulate protein biosynthesis in response to purines.[1] In general, riboswitches are metabolite binding domains within certain messenger RNAs that act as precision sensors for their corresponding targets. Allosteric rearrangement of mRNA structure is mediated by ligand binding, and this results in modulation of gene expression.[2] from link: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rfam/getacc?RF00167 Now this is how to help the condition: Gout Foods: Avoiding Purine-Rich Foods http://arthritis.about.com/cs/goutdiet/a/goutpurines.htm That dietary recommendation begs the question regarding what foods are purine-rich? Consider though that purines are found in all protein foods and it is not recommended that all purines should be eliminated from a person's diet. Medical Association, purine-containing foods include: Beer, other alcoholic beverages. Anchovies, sardines in oil, fish roes, herring. Yeast. Organ meat (liver, kidneys, sweetbreads) Legumes (dried beans, peas) Meat extracts, consomme, gravies. Mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower. Beneficial Foods Foods which may be beneficial to people with gout include: Dark berries may contain chemicals that lower uric acid and reduce inflammation. Tofu which is made from soybeans may be a better choice than meats. Certain fatty acids found in certain fish such as salmon, flax or olive oil, or nuts may possess some anti-inflammatory benefits. Avoiding purine-rich foods is only one aspect of treatment however. It is important to take prescribed medications as directed, maintain a healthy/balanced diet, drink plenty of fluids/water, exercise and maintain a healthy body weight. Diets designed for quick or extreme weight loss will work against you though -- they increase uric acid levels in the blood. Balanced Diet According to the American Medical Association, a balanced diet for people with gout include foods: High in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, vegetables) Low in protein (15% of calories and sources should be soy, lean meats, poultry) No more than 30% of calories from fat (10% animal fat) There's More Reading on this link above: My dad has gout, and has to be careful what he eats too, no shrimp (very little) shell fish like scallops are a no no. All the things he loves like beef and the rich foods. Hope that this helped. --- Art3 <art@...> wrote: > My doctor called tonight and said I have high purine > and I need to go on a low purine diet.
