40 igh urate level may be useful : Urate level of the human is 10-fold higher than in monkey a factor for the longer life time. Urate is an antioxaidant (like Vitamin E, bilirubin, etc). TÁMP /2/A/KMR

41 Adenosine-deaminase Its lack leads to a 100-fold increase in datp, which inhibits ribonucleotide reductase. The increase in datp, thus results in decrease of other deoxinucleotides necessary for DA synthesis in T and B lymphocytes. Its hereditary deficiency affects the immune system: SID-syndrome (sever combined immundeficiency). It is also called on IV AIDS, because of similar symptoms. TÁMP /2/A/KMR

42 Summary ucleotide metabolism is discussed from the viewpoint of their synthesis (because their amount is not enough in the diet) and they degradation (because they incorrect elimination causes pathological conditions)
