In the target organs (liver and brain cortex), Hx treatment suppressed the relative mRNA expression of critical enzymes in purine metabolism (HPRT, XOR, and PNP) as well as crucial players in anti‐oxidative system (Nrf2, SOD‐1, and CAT), meanwhile, NAC and Allopurinol (Allo, 2 g/L in the drinking water and a Western diet for 8 weeks) treatment induced significant upregulation in relative expression of these genes.
