title: Excretion from rats of ketone bodies and methylmalonic acid in urine resulting from dietary vitamin B12 deficiency.
abstract: Ketone bodies were assayed in the urine of ten-week-old vitamin B12-deficient rats by a high-performance liquid chromatography. The urinary excretion of ketone bodies (352.5 +/- 68.3 mumol/day) as well as of methylmalonic acid was increased significantly by dietary vitamin B12 deficiency.
