Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets with graded levels of methionine with and without pantothenic acid. The methionine requirement for growth, survival, and lymphocyte production was higher in the absence of dietary pantothenic acid than in the presence of this vitamin. The results indicate that pantothenic acid and methionine are interrelated in the nutrition of the rat.
