Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the consequences of lowering serum uric acid in pre-hypertensive, obese adolescents pathways involved with how uric acid mediated hypertension and renal disease. The specific aims are: 1. Test the hypothesis that lowering uric acid will improve endothelial function. 2. Test the hypothesis that lowering uric acid will reduce plasma renin activity and serum angiotensin II levels. 3. Test the hypothesis that lowering uric acid will reduce markers of inflammation
