A study was made of the effect of different doses of hydroxythiamine on activity of alkaline phosphatase and transketolase in rat spleen and thymus during primary and secondary administration of human gamma-globulin. Immunization of rats significantly raised alkaline phosphatase activity in both
Activity of the key enzymes of gluconeogenesis under alimentary thiamine deficiency (15 days of dietary treatment) was studied in the liver and kidney of fed and 48 h starved rats. As compared to pair-fed controls vitamin B1-deficiency was followed by a decrease of glucose 6-phosphatase and fructose
Activity of the main enzymes of gluconeogenesis under food thiamine deficiency was studied in tissues of satiated and 48-hour starved rats. Starvation of control rats (with no vitamin B1-deficiency) led to increased activity of glucose 6-phosphatase (G-6-P) in the liver, kidney and small intestinal
Thiamine deficiency caused a marked decrease of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (al-Pase) activity, but had no effect on the Ca++-ATPase activity and Ca++-absorption in rats. The al-Pase activity was significantly decreased 1 h after oral administration of ethanol at 0.5 and 2.5 g/kg. In contrast,
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is required in the diet of animals, and thiamine deficiency leads to diseases such as beri-beri and the Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Dietary thiamine (vitamin B1) consists mainly of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), which is transformed into thiamine by gastrointestinal
31 healthy Thai males, 22 Thai male regular drinkers not suffering from any clinical signs or symptoms of alcoholism, and 52 patients from a neurological hospital in Bangkok suffering from the effects of chronic alcohol consumption were investigated. Alcohol consumption in asymptomatic drinkers
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a thiamine deficient diet for three weeks, then treated with a range of CCl4 doses (0.01-1-ml/kg). Rats fed the deficient diet grew more slowly (body weight 65 percent of control) and had elevated liver glutathione (GSH) (220 percent of control). CCl4
The influence of experimental thiamine deficiency in rats on enzyme-histochemical parameters was carried out in the diencephalon. The degree of thiamine deficiency was measured by the activity coefficient of transketolase in the red blood cells. The alpha-ETK of thiamine deficient animals was 1,45
Vitamin B1 is an essential cofactor for central metabolism in all organisms. In humans, vitamin B1 deficiency is often associated with cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. Polished white rice (Oryza sativa) is a poor source of vitamin B1. Biofortification of rice with vitamin B1 has
BACKGROUND
Lipid-soluble thiamine precursors have a much higher bioavailability than genuine thiamine and therefore are more suitable for therapeutic purposes. Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate), an amphiphilic S-acyl thiamine derivative, prevents the progression of diabetic
