Neither stone nor calcium oxalate crystal deposition was observed in the kidneys of rats after oral ingestion of 60 mg. L-ascorbic acid daily for three months, although urinary excretion of stone inhibitors (magnesium and citrate) was decreased and oxalate increased. The highly acidic pH of urine and reduced calcium excretion might have prevented their deposition.
