Oxidation of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in cobalamin-inactivated rats.

M Lumb1, R Deacon, J Perry, I Chanarin.   

Abstract

Rats were exposed to nitrous oxide, which inactivates cob(I)alamin (Cbl). As in air-breathing rats methionine administration led to the conversion of hepatic 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (MeH4 folate) into formyltetrahydrofolate. The recovery of MeH4 folate levels in liver after its oxidation initiated by methionine was noted and the rate compared with that for air-breathing rats. Oxidation of MeH4 folate was less complete and occurred more slowly in Cbl-inactivated rats as compared with controls. However, recovery of MeH4 folate levels was more rapid in Cbl inactivation. S-Adenosylmethionine did not produce a significant change in MeH4 folate levels in Cbl-inactivated rats, whereas it did so in air-breathing animals.
