CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM IN VITAMIN B1 DEFICIENCY

Vitamin-B1 Deficiency

Carbohydrate Metabolism in Thiamine Deficiency*

The relationship of vitamin Br to carbohydrate metabolism was one of the earliest functions of a vitamin to be observed. The problem has been more or less continuously investigated up to the present time and the majority of the evidence indicates that in vitamin B1 deficiency there is some interference with glycogen storage, hyperglycemia, and characteristic errors in carbohydrate metabolism. E...

Lxxx. Blood Pyruvate in Vitamin B1 Deficiency

IN the course of recent work on the role of vitamin B, in the metabolism of brain, it was discovered [Peters and Sinclair, 1933] that lactate solutions in which avitaminous pigeon's brain cells had respired for 2 hours gave a positive nitroprusside reaction for pyruvic acid [Simon and Piaux, 1924]. This led to a quantitative investigation of the formation of pyruvic acid during the respiration ...

Linking vitamin B1 with cancer cell metabolism

The resurgence of interest in cancer metabolism has linked alterations in the regulation and exploitation of metabolic pathways with an anabolic phenotype that increases biomass production for the replication of new daughter cells. To support the increase in the metabolic rate of cancer cells, a coordinated increase in the supply of nutrients, such as glucose and micronutrients functioning as e...
