The concentrations of cobalamin and transcobalamin I and II in plasma and of folate in erythrocytes were determined in a Greenlander population sample. Compared with the Danish reference group, cobalamin and transcobalamin II were increased in the Eskimos, whereas there were no differences in transcobalamin I and erythrocyte folate.
