Abstract
Vitamin B12 uptake by rat liver slices is enhanced markedly in the presence of appropriate concentrations of hog intrinsic factor concentrate. This enchancement is observable at 37.5[degree]C, at 3[degree]C, and in the presence of 10-4[image] 2,4-dinitrophenol. It requires calcium (or strontium), and is reversible to an appreciable extent by ethylenediaminetetraacetate. These findings suggest the mechanism is physical rather than metabolic.
