Induction of lipid peroxidation in calcium oxalate stone formation.
The function of lipid peroxidation and the anti-peroxidative enzymes of rat liver and kidney were investigated under hyperoxaluric and stone forming conditions. The experimental animals showed higher malondialdehyde content in liver and kidney than that of control. A significant increase in malondialdehyde release was observed in the experimental liver or kidney when incubated with either ferrous sulphate or hydrogen peroxide compared to that of control liver or kidney. Superoxide dismutase activity was not affected in the hyperoxaluric rats while there was a moderate increase in the stone forming rats when compared to control. Highly significant decrease in catalase activity was observed in both conditions in liver and kidney compared to control.
