  • Title: The identification of the products of folate catabolism in the rat.
    Author: Murphy M, Boyle PH, Weir DG, Scott JM.
    Journal: Br J Haematol; 1978 Feb; 38(2):211-8. PubMed ID: 638070.
    Abstract:
    Further analysis of rat urine containing labelled catabolites derived from administered 3H- or 14C-labelled folic acid is described. The results support previously described studies, and show that folate catabolism in the rat takes place by cleavage of the C9-N10 bond, and not by excretion of inactive forms of the vitamin which still contain the intact folate skeleton.
