Abstract
Kidney lesions may develop and death ensue in very young rats consuming hypolipotropic diets in the presence of vitamin B12 even when subprotective amounts of choline are available unless the diet contains sufficient methionine. The necessity is established for a careful adjustment of the dietary concentrations of both choline and methionine before the protective effect of vitamin B12 on kidney lesions may be elicited.Keywords
