ABSTRACT
Folic acid in high doses gives rise to an accumulation of lipid droplets in the kidney in addition to other changes in the epithelial of both proximal and distal tubules. With the administration of methionine a decrease of lipid droplets and an improvement of the structures of most of the membranes and mitochrondria are observed. These findings have been discussed in regard to the theory of the "chemically induced hyperplasia of the kidneys" related to folic acid.
