Pantothenic Acid and It's Derivatives

The daily excretion of riboflavin biotin, pantothenic acid, and nicotinic acid derivatives by normals.

Microbic Decomposition of Pantothenic Acid.

The metabolism of pantothenic acid.

The formulation of this pathway was based on: (a) the finding that cysteine supplies the sulfur-containing moiety of CoA (3,4); (b) the activities of pantetheine and pantothenylcysteine as growth factors for Acetobacter suboxydans (4-6) and Lactobacillus helveticus (7); (c) the presence of enzymes in these two organisms and also in Lactobacillus bulgur&s which decarboxylate pantothenylcysteine ...

Synthesis and properties of pantothenic acid monophosphates.

Although it appears most probable that coenzyme A is a phosphate derivative of pantothenic acid (2), little information is available as to the position or nature of the phosphate linkage in the molecule. It became of interest in this connection to examine the properties of simple phosphate derivatives of pantothenic acid, and for this purpose efforts were directed toward the preparation of the ...

The effect of pantothenic acid dosage and environmental temperature and humidity upon the dermal and renal excretion of pantothenic acid.

The loss of considerable amounts of water-soluble nutrients in the sweat would have an important bearing on nutrition in the tropics and in hot humid seasons of the year in the temperate zone, provided these losses represented something more than a mere diversion of excretion from kidney to sweat glands. The possibility of such losses has stimulated considerable research in recent years, partic...
