Abstract
Summary
Dietary homocysteine and cysteine enhance the urinary excretion of CF by rats receiving PGA. The stimulatory effect of homocysteine on CF excretion is significantly higher than that of cysteine. In vitro conversion of PGA to CF by rat liver homogenate is enhanced by homocysteine, serine and formate. The stimulatory effect of homocysteine on CF synthesis is enhanced by added serine but is inhibited by added formate.
