1. Newborn infants of low birth weight absorb both pteroylmonoglutamic acid and pteroylpolyglutamate.

2. There was a significant fall in serum folate concentrations during the first 14 d of life in these infants, but a daily supplement of 50 μg pteroylmonoglutamic acid or pteroylpolyglutamate was sufficient to prevent the development of subnormal serum folate concentrations.
