Role of ethanol metabolism in the alcohol-induced increase in urinary folate excretion in rats

Chronic ethanol use can lead to folic acid deficiency in humans. In rats, acute doses of ethanol produce a marked increase in the urinary excretion of folate which is followed by a decrease in plasma folate levels. To assess the respective roles of ethanol and its metabolism in these effects, five g...
