Folic acid metabolism in Rauscher murine leukemia and effect of methotrexate on the blood picture [PDF]
, 1974 Folic acid contents of plasma, whole blood, liver and spleen in Rauscher leukemic mice were estimated. Plasma and liver folate in the leukemic mice was lower than that of normal mice, suggesting that folic acid was deficient in Rauscher leukemia.
