uricotelicadj.

/ˌjʊərɪkəʊˈtɛlɪk/

Etymology: < Italian uricotelico (A. Clementi 1916, in Atti della R. Accad. dei Lincei: Rendiconti XXV. i. 366), < urico uric adj. + Greek τελικός final.

Biochemistry.

Of an animal or its metabolism: producing nitrogenous waste chiefly in the form of uric acid or urates, as in certain insects, birds, and reptiles, rather than urea.

1924 Proc. Royal Soc. B. 97 227 Clementi enunciated the doctrine that arginase is present in the livers of all those animals which have what he calls a ‘ureotelic’ metabolism—a metabolism, that is, in which urea is the final product of protein degradation—and absent from the livers of those in which protein metabolism is ‘uricotelic’—ending in uric acid.

1934 Biochem. Jrnl. 28 1390 The uricotelic character of the metabolism of this gastropod is supported by new in vitro experiments.

1954 New Biol. 17 45 The uricotelic nitrogen metabolism of insects..is economical of water since uric acid can be excreted without much water loss.

1979 Jrnl. Compar. Physiol. 133 211/2 Xeric adapted arboreal frogs of at least two genera..excrete nitrogen predominantly in the form of urate (uric acid), in proportions and amounts similar to uricotelic reptiles.
