Abstract
Summary
The kidney, liver, heart, small intestine and femoral muscles of rats raised on a corn-soybean diet were assayed for vitamin B12 content.
The kidney was found to be the site of greatest B12 concentration. The liver, heart, small intestine, and muscle contained no appreciable amount of the vitamin after the animals had been kept on the basal ration for 6 weeks. The amount of B12 increased in the organs and tissues when vitamin B12 was added to the diet.
