Mobilization of folate from liver into blood stream following histidine injection in rats.
A marked reticulocyte response following intraperitoneal injections of histidine monohydrochloride was observed in rats which were fed on a folate-free diet immediately after weaning for a period of 20 days or more. This finding was taken as an evidence for mobilization of folate stored in the liver into blood stream following histidine injection.
