formic acid and Weight Gain

formic acid has been researched along with Weight Gain in 11 studies

formic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
formic acid : The simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. Induces severe metabolic acidosis and ocular injury in human subjects.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.
