A histopathological study had been performed on the changes of digestive organs of experimental folic acid deficiency, using rats. The stomach revealed marked desquamation of epithelial cells and hemorrhagic erosion of the mucosa. In addition, the Auerbach's and Meisner's plexus showed marked degenerative changes of nervous cells. In liver, fatty degeneration and necrosis of liver cells were markedly encountered, especially in central zone of the lobules. Histochemical and resorption pictures using ultravaiolet microscopic observation revealed a marked decrease of nucleic acid and protein synthesis.
