Serum Uric Acid and Brain Ischemia in Normal Elderly Adults
Neurol 69:1418-1423, Schretlen,D.J., et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These findings demonstrate that mildly elevated serum uric acid is associated with increased burden of cerebral ischemic pathology, particularly in older adults. We outline the potential pathogenesis of this association. A clinical trial of antihyperuricemic medication to treat or prevent chronic brain ischemia might be warranted.
