Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 287:C1359-65. 2004..Expression of AGT2 mRNA in HepG2 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR. These results indicate that HepG2 cells will be useful in clarifying the nonperoxisomal metabolism associated with oxalate synthesis in human hepatocytes...
Effect of soda consumption on urinary stone risk parametersCorey M Passman
Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Winston Salem, North Carolina 27157, USA

Increased protein intake on controlled oxalate diets does not increase urinary oxalate excretionJohn Knight
Department of Urology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Medical Center Blvd, Winston Salem, NC 27157, USA
Urol Res 37:63-8. 2009..This is most likely due to hyperfiltration. These results indicate that as dietary protein intake increases, the catabolism of diet-derived amino acids is not associated with an increased endogenous oxalate synthesis in normal subjects...
Intestinal and renal handling of oxalate loads in normal individuals and stone formersJohn Knight
Department of Urology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Medical Center Blvd, Winston Salem, NC 27157, USA

Department of Urology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston Salem, NC 27157, USA
Am J Nephrol 25:171-5. 2005..The metabolism that leads to glyoxylate synthesis is not well defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the production of glyoxylate in liver mitochondria when they metabolize hydroxyproline...
