<title>PREVENTIVE EFFECT OF SACCHARUM SPONTANEUM LINN.AGAINST GLYCOLIC ACID – INDUCED UROLITHIASIS IN MALE WISTAR ALBINO RATS </title>
<abstract>The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antilithiatic activity of  lessThan i greaterThan Saccharum spontaneum lessThan /i greaterThan  Linn. Healthy male Wistar rats were used in the present study and were divided randomly into 5 groups. Group I was served as normal control. Lithiasis was induced in rats by fed with a calculi-producing diet (CPD: commercial diet mixed with 3% glycolic acid) for 28 days (group II). The levels of protein, sodium, potassium, and chloride and lipid peroxidation were altered in urolithiatic rats. Supplementation with ethanolic extract of  lessThan i greaterThan S.spontaneum lessThan /i greaterThan  (200 and 300 mg / kg body weight) by oral administration for subsequent 28 days at a rate of 1.0 ml / rat / day restored the levels and it brought back the values to near normal range in urolithiatic rats. The results indicate that the ethanolic extract of  lessThan i greaterThan S.spontaneum  lessThan /i greaterThan is endowed with significant antiurolithiatic activity. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the supplementation of  lessThan i greaterThan S.spontaneum lessThan /i greaterThan  root has a beneficial effect on urolithiasis induced by glycolic acid.</abstract>
