The effect of folic acid addition on insulin level and some carbohydrate metabolism indices in male rats fed with excess of methionine.
Changes in insulin, plasma glucose and tissue glycogen were considerable and statistically significant when the smaller dose of folic acid was given, comparing with the bigger one. In both cases the physiological proportions between examined parameters were not maintained.
