Conversion of myo-inositol to d-glucuronic acid and l-gulonic acid in the rat

Conversion of myo-inositol to d-glucuronic acid and l-gulonic acid in the rat

The metabolism of randomly labeled [ 3H]myo-inositol and uniformly labeled [ 14C]myoinositol has been investigated in rats. The results indicate that inositol is converted to d-glucoronic acid and l-gulonic acid. Formation of l-ascorbic acid and of l-glucuronic acid from inositol was not detected.
