Abstract
TSUJIKAWA, M. and KIMURA, S. Effect of Exposure to Cold on Pantothenic Acid Metabolism in Rat Liver. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1981, 133 (4), 457-460 -Exposure to a cold environment increased the incorporation of labeled pantothenic acid (PaA) into the liver and total PaA content. These increases were mainly due to an increase of free coenzyme A (CoA). The specific activity of the free CoA fraction was particularly high. These results suggest that exposure to a cold environment accelerates the rate of synthesis of CoA from PaA in the liver.
