Uridine, an essential nucleoside, encompasses a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group, constituting a type of organic compound. It serves as a fundamental building block of RNA and is naturally present in various food sources like mushrooms, brewer′s yeast, and beer. The multifaceted roles of uridine within the body have been extensively investigated in recent years. Uridine is believed to engage in several mechanisms, including the modulation of synaptic plasticity, neuronal excitability, and cell proliferation. Moreover, it is thought to modulate the activity of numerous enzymes, such as phospholipase C, adenylate cyclase, and protein kinase C.
