orotic acid and Weight Gain

orotic acid has been researched along with Weight Gain in 6 studies

Orotic Acid: An intermediate product in PYRIMIDINE synthesis which plays a role in chemical conversions between DIHYDROFOLATE and TETRAHYDROFOLATE.
orotic acid : A pyrimidinemonocarboxylic acid that is uracil bearing a carboxy substituent at position C-6.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.
