Abstract

Free amino acid levels of the liver were estimated in riboflavin deficient rats. The results revealed that there were a considerable decrease in glycine and a slight decrease in methionine. It was assumed that the decrease in glycine and methionine levels might have resulted from a decreased activity of both N5.10 methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase and N5 methyltetrahydrofolate transferase induced by riboflavin deficiency.
