Background: Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of uric acid from hypoxanthine and xanthine, leading to an increase in superoxide and reactive oxygen species. Activation of XOR promotes oxidative stress-related tissue injury. We investigated the associations between metabolic parameters and plasma XOR activity measured by a sensitive and accurate assay using a combination of liquid chromatography and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to detect [C-13(2),N-15(2)]-uric acid using [C-13(2),N-15(2)]-xanthine as a substrate.Methods and Results: A total of 627 Japanese subjects (M/F, 292/335) from the Tanno-Sobetsu Study, a population-based cohort, were recruited. Plasma XOR activity was significantly higher in males than in females, and habitual smoking was associated with elevation of activity. Plasma XOR activity was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI; r= 0.323, P
