 | | BIOLOGICAL DATA BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS Fumaric acid is a normal constituent of tissues as an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. |
 | | Distribution of fumaric acid in rat tissue has been studied by partition chromatography and it was found that blood contained 3 mg/l, brain tissue 150 mg/kg, kidney tissue 95 mg/kg, liver 78 mg/kg and muscle 23 mg/kg (Marshall et al., 1949). |
 | | Dog Fumaric acid was fed to four groups of six young dogs at 0, 1, 3 and 5% of the diet for two years without adverse effect on body weight gain, development, haematology, blood sugar and urea levels, haemoglobin and urine. |
