Abstract
High levels of dietary molybdenum did not alter ability of rat to acetylate p-aminobenzoic acid or to conjugate benzoic acid with glycine. A depression of food intake and growth was evident within 24 hours after addition of 0.12% molybdenum to the diet. Liver alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly increased in molybdenum-toxic rats whereas the activities of the kidney and intestinal alkaline phosphatases were significantly reduced.
