Objectives: To evaluate the urinary levels of uric acid (UA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) with and without UA relative contribution (TAC(-UA)) in children and adults with Down syndrome (DS) and to prove the clinical use of TAC.Design and methods: Urine samples were obtained from 32 individuals with DS and 29 controls. Two age groups were established (children and adults). Spectrophotometric methods were used for biochemical determinations.Results: Children with DS had significantly higher UA/Cr and TAC/Cr levels than controls, whereas levels of TAC(-UA)/Cr were lower in adults with DS than in controls (P
