“…A relative increase in oxalate concentration results in a rise in the proportion of calcium oxalate monohy drate. Other experimental and clinical observations indi cate that this principle holds good even in vivo [6,7,14].…”
We devised a simple and economical technique for measuring crystallization inhibitory activities. Calcium ions and oxalate ions diffuse towards one another from two adjacent wells in a layer of gel on a microscope slide. Where they meet, a streak of calcium oxalate crystals forms. Substances which influence crystallization are caused to diffuse into this middle zone. Depending on the inhibitory potency of the substance, the calcium oxalate streak varies in density and extent. These differences are recorded photometrically by comparison with a sample containing no inhibitor, and the inhibition index is calculated. Some of the best known inhibitors were tested and showed a definite effect in this model. Magnesium and citrate in physiological concentrations are of special significance. The expected range of variation of inhibitory activities in human urine is covered by this method.

“…Sengbusch and Timmermann (10) showed increased urinary excretion of calcium oxalate crystals in mono-and dihydrate form after increasing the intake of oxalate-con taining foods by mouth.…”
“…Oxalsäurcbelastung nach Spinat-oder Rhabarbergenuß führt zu einer vermehrten, teilweise sogar massiven Oxalat-Kristallausschcidung bei Gesunden (17,18,19,22,23). Je nach Kostform wurde ein qualitativer und quantitativer Unterschied der einzelnen Oxalat-Kristallformen beobachtet.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
