...Caroline DEAN; Jerry KANELLOS; Hung PHAM; Maria GOMES; Adrian OATES; Phulwinder GROVER; Rosemary RYALL The bikunin peptide chain of the protease inhibitor inter-α-inhibitor (∣α∣) has been reported to be an inhibitor of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization, and hence has been proposed as having...

... by our results and gives a turbidity rate index that is related to the product of the growth rate constant and a factor relating to the number and characteristics of the heteronuclei responsible for initiation of crystallization. This interpretation is posited upon the assumptions that second-order...

... to assay for nucleation-promoting and growth-inhibiting activities towards crystallization of urinary calcium oxalate. When compared at the same uronic acid concentration, both the urinary chondroitin sulphate isomers and heparan sulphates of stone formers demonstrated the capacity to enhance crystal...

...W. G. Robertson; M. Peacock; R. W. Marshall; F. Knowles 1. The volume, size and type of calcium oxalate crystals excreted in the urine of a group of patients with recurrent ‘idiopathic’ stones were studied on a controlled basal diet, after an oral supplement of sodium oxalate and after oral...
