Abstract:
An ionization chamber method was used in vivo to demonstrate a delayed oxidation of [14C] formaldehyde and [14C] formate to 14CO2 in folic acid-deficient rats as compared to control rats or folic-acid-deficient rats treated by folic acid. Results obtained showed that oxidation of these two molecules required the presence of folic acid.
