Abstract

Several recent reports have recorded an influence of folic acid on biological methylation, creatine excretion and choline oxidase activity. A metabolic relationship between vitamin B12, choline and methionine has also been established. These and other observed general inter-relationships between folic acid and vitamin B12 suggested the present studies on the transmethylation of glycocyamine by liver enzymes and on in vivo formation of creatine.
