  • Title: Selective inactivation of vitamin B12 in rats by nitrous oxide.

    Journal: Lancet; 1978 Nov 11; 2(8098):1023-4. PubMed ID: 82036.
    Abstract:
    Exposure of rats to nitrous oxide rapidly inactivated the cytosol enzyme, methionine synthetase, but the mitochondrial enzyme, methylmalonyl CoA mutase, seemed to be unaffected, although both enzymes require vitamin B12.
