title: Effect of an Ayurvedic compound preparation on the ability of rat urine to influence mineral phase formation.
abstract: Rat urine could inhibit not only the in vitro initial precipitation of calcium and phosphate/oxalate ions as mineral phase but also the subsequent growth of the preformed mineral phase. Oral administration of the aqueous extract of a commercially available Ayurvedic compound preparation to rats, was found to significantly increase the ability of the urine samples to inhibit both the initial mineral phase formation and its subsequent growth.
