  • Title: [Does vitamin E protect against experimental lithiasis?].
    Author: Sakly A, Achour A, Zouaghi H.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1994; 28(5):265-7. PubMed ID: 7825984.
    Abstract:
    We have recently suggested that vitamin A could protect against experimental lithiasis by repairing tubular membrane cells or protection against membrane damage caused by free radicals generated during experimental lithiasis. Although vitamin E treatment demonstrated no beneficial effect on stone formation, it promoted the repair mechanism by vitamin A during experimental lithiasis and by supported the hypothesis that oxalate crystals may be destructive to renal epithelium because they are large and irregular.
