This study was designed to evaluate the effects of Solanum xanthocarpum fruit extract in ethylene-glycol-induced urolithiasis in the male Wistar rats. Nephrolithiasis was induced in male Wistar rats by adding ethylene glycol (0.75%) in drinking water for 28 days. Animals were divided into six groups, each containing six viz. Vehicle control, model control, S. xanthocarpum methanol extract in different doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg p.o., Cystone (750 mg/kg, p.o.) served as a standard. Hyperoxaluria as well as an increase in the excretion of calcium, phosphate, uric acid and decrease in citrate and magnesium in urine, impairment of renal function and oxidative imbalance in kidney were observed in the calculi-induced group. Treatment with S. xanthocarpum decreases hyperoxaluria, calcium, and uric acid, improves renal function, and also produces antioxidant effects. Crystalluria was characterized by excretion calcium oxalate (CaOX) crystals, which were enormous in the lithogenic group but smaller in the drug-treated group. The histology showed that the calculi-induced group had a large deposition of CaOX crystals in kidney while the treated group had trivial and fewer deposits. The result indicates the antiurolithiatic activity of S. xanthocarpum mediated possibly by CaOX crystal inhibition, diuretic, antioxidant and maintaining balance between stone promoter and inhibitor constituents, and this study rationalized its medicinal use in urolithiasis.
本研究旨在评估黄果茄果实提取物对乙二醇诱导的雄性Wistar大鼠尿路结石的影响。通过在雄性Wistar大鼠的饮用水中添加乙二醇(0.75%)持续28天来诱导肾结石形成。将动物分为六组,每组六只,即:溶剂对照组、模型对照组、不同剂量(100、200和400 mg/kg口服)的黄果茄甲醇提取物组、以Cystone(750 mg/kg,口服)作为标准对照组。在结石诱导组中观察到高草酸尿症以及尿中钙、磷酸盐、尿酸排泄增加,柠檬酸盐和镁排泄减少,肾功能损害以及肾脏氧化失衡。用黄果茄治疗可降低高草酸尿症、钙和尿酸水平,改善肾功能,并产生抗氧化作用。结晶尿的特征是草酸钙(CaOX)晶体排泄,在致石组中晶体数量巨大,而在药物治疗组中较小。组织学显示,结石诱导组在肾脏中有大量CaOX晶体沉积,而治疗组的沉积物较少且微不足道。结果表明黄果茄的抗尿路结石活性可能是通过抑制CaOX晶体、利尿、抗氧化以及维持结石促进剂和抑制剂成分之间的平衡来介导的,本研究证明了其在尿路结石治疗中的药用合理性。
