Oxalate Formation From Ascorbic Acid (NCT04603898)
🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this basic research study is to determine the contribution of endogenous ascorbic acid (AA) turnover to urinary oxalate excretion in both normal BMI and obese adult non-stone formers and calcium oxalate stone formers. The studies proposed will use diets of known nutrient composition, a stable isotope of ascorbic acid (13C6-AA) and mass spectrometric techniques to quantify ascorbic acid turnover to oxalate.
