Folic acid deficiency in rats induced by the administration of antagonist or by dietary deprivation and sulfasuxidine feeding brings about an increase in absorption of orally administered Co60-labeled vitamin B12 as measured by the fecal excretion test or by organ uptake method. However, prolonged deficiency of this vitamin results in a lower B12 serum level. When Co60-B12 is introduced into the intestinal loops of folic acid-deficient or -treated rats, it was absorbed to the same extent. These data demonstrated no absorption defect in the intestine due to folic acid deficiency.
