The metabolic pathway by which L-[14C1]phenylalanine, L-[14C1]tyrosine, L-[14C1]tryptophan, and L-[14C1]ascorbic acid are converted to [14C]oxalate was investigated in the male rat. Only [14C]oxalate was detected in the urine of rats injected with L-[14C1]ascorbic acid, but [14C]-labeled oxalate, glycolate, glyoxylate, glycolaldehyde, glycine, and serine were recovered from the [14C1]-labeled aromatic amino acids. DL-Phenyllactate, an inhibitor of glycolic acid oxidase and glycolic acid dehydrogenase, reduced the amount of [14C]oxalate recovered in the urine of rats given the [14C1]-labeled aromatic amino acids, but increased the amount of [14C]glycolate formed from L-[14C1]-phenylalanine and L-[14C1]tyrosine and the amount of [14C]glycolate produced from [14C1]tryptophan. Based on the [14C]labeled intermediates identified and the relative distribution of the radioactivity, it was postulated that phenylalanine and tyrosine were converted to oxalate via glycolate which was oxidized directly to oxalate by glycolic acid dehydrogenase. Tryptophan was metabolized via glyoxylate which was oxidized directly to oxalate by glycolic acid oxidase. Neither glycolate, glyoxylate, glycolic acid oxidase or glycolic acid dehydrogenase were involved in the formation of oxalate from ascorbic acid.
