Fluoroacetate intoxication

Fluoroacetate intoxication offers new possibilities to research. If a drug, a pathological condition or even a physical agent such as ionizing radiation do not decrease citrate accumulation in a rat after fluoroacetate poisoning, this means that they do not affect the utilization of glucose before aconitase action. If they do, one must look for a block somewhere between glucose and citric add.
