Acute oxalate nephropathy induced by star fruit in rats

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2001
In this study, we intend to establish a connection between star fruit and acute oxalate nephropathy and also investigate predisposing factors for its development. Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 180 to 200 g were assigned to four groups; namely, control, experimental, fasting, and water-deprivation groups.

Mechanisms of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) toxicity: A mini-review

Toxicon, 2020
The star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) is consumed in high amounts in Asia and Central/South America. It contains oxalic acid and caramboxin. In some individuals, its ingestion may lead to nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity.

TRANSIENT INHIBITION OF CYP3A IN RATS BY STAR FRUIT JUICE

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2006
Star fruit juice is a potent in vitro inhibitor of CYP3A; however, few reports are available on the inhibition of CYP3A activities by star fruit juice in vivo. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the CYP3A-mediated star fruit-drug interaction in vivo. The effect of star fruit juice on carbamazepine pharmacokinetics was examined in rats.

Metabolic characterization of Kloeckera apiculata strains from star fruit fermentation

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1998
A total of 37 strains of Kloeckera apiculata was isolated during the spontaneous fermentation of star fruit must. Each strain was differentiated from the others on the basis of its capacity to produce acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, higher alcohols, acetoin and acetic acid.

[Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) toxic encephalopathy].

Revue neurologique, 2009
Ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) can induce severe intoxication in subjects with chronic renal failure. Oxalate plays a key role in the neurotoxicity of star fruit. We report the cases of two patients with unknown chronic renal insufficiency who developed severe encephalopathy after ingestion of star fruit.

Flavonoids isolated from the fresh sweet fruit of Averrhoa carambola , commonly known as star fruit

Phytochemistry, 2018
Thirteen flavonoids were isolated from the fresh sweet fruit of Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidaceae), commonly known as star fruit, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. 8-Carboxymethyl-(+)-epicatechin methyl ester, pinobanksin 3-O-β-d-glucoside, and carambolasides M-Q were undescribed structures.
