Formation of calcium oxalate stones tends to increase with age and begins from the
attachment of a crystal formed in the cavity of renal tubules to the surface of renal tubular …

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of a vitamin A supplemented diet on calcium-oxalate stone
formation in rats and to test its expected action in the dissolution of renal calculi. MATERIAL …

Stone formation in genetic hypercalciuric rats. Our genetic hypercalciuric (GH) rats have
been selected and inbred for 29 generations to maximize urine calcium (U Ca) excretion …

This review summarizes our current understanding of intracellular events in the initiation of
kidney stone formation, focusing on results from studies using renal epithelial cells in vitro …

Purpose: Oxalate, a metabolic end product, is a major constituent of majority of renal stones.
Previous studies with LLC-PK1 cells, a line of proximal renal epithelial cells of porcine …

Several animal species are used to study calcium oxalate urolithiasis; however, an ideal
model has yet to be identified. We used Drosophila as a model organism and fed the flies …

Dietary oxalate is plant-derived and may be a component of vegetables, nuts, fruits, and
grains. In normal individuals, approximately half of urinary oxalate is derived from the diet …

Crystal retention is studied in a rat-model system as a possible mechanism for the etiology of
human nephrolithiasis. A crystal-inducing diet (CID) of ethylene glycol plus NH 4 Cl in their …
