Three preparations of radioactive yeast nucleic acids were fed to mice. One was labeled predominantly in the guanine moiety, one was labeled predominantly in the adenine moiety, and in one adenine and guanine were labeled equally. Most of the nucleic acid purines produced by digestion were excreted in the urine. However, a small amount was utilized for nucleotide and nucleic acid synthesis in the mouse tissues. Small intestine, liver and skeletal muscle contained most of the purines that were retained in the tissues. Dietary nucleic acid adenine appeared to be utilized somewhat more efficiently than was dietary nucleic acid guanine.
