Abstract

Interest in oxalate metabolism has increased because of its importance in urinary stone formation. Oxalate is a metabolic endproduct in man and is excreted in the urine¹. The two main precursors of oxalate are glyoxylic acid² and ascorbic acid³. Serine is a minor precursor⁴. Glycine is thought to be the most important precursor of glyoxylic acid⁵. Glycine and ascorbic acid each contribute about 40% of the urinary excretion. Intestinal absorption is reported to be less than 10% of the ingested amount⁶.
