Molecular and Histopathological Study on the Ameliorative Impacts of Petroselinum Crispum and Apium Graveolens against Experimental Hyperuricemia

Abstract Hyperuricemia is an abnormal metabolic condition characterized by an increase in uric acid levels in the blood. It is the cause of gout, manifested by inflammatory arthritis, pain and disability. This study examined the possible ameliorative impacts of parsley (PAR) and celery (CEL) as hypo...
