  • Title: [Methylmalonic acid excretion in experimental B2-avitaminosis in rats].
    Author: Kastrikina LN, Churdaleva EV, Spirichev VB.
    Journal: Vopr Med Khim; 1976; 22(2):269-74. PubMed ID: 16395.
    Abstract:
    Providing of rats with a diet, deficient in vitamin B2 within 2 and 5 weeks, was not shown to be accompanied by an increase in excretion of methylmalonic acid. In the animals some tendency to the increased excretion of methylmalonic acid was observed within 8 weeks of the diet. The data obtained suggest that the test for excretion of methylmalonic acid was the highly specific as a pattern of supply with vitamin B12. The possible role of vitamin B2 and flavoproteins in biosynthesis of coenzyme forms of vitamin B12 is discussed.
