PANTOTHENIC ACID IN BREWING

Microbic Decomposition of Pantothenic Acid.

Hematopoiesis in pantothenic acid-deficient rats.

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 ...

Pantothenic acid deficiency induced in human subjects.

Bean and Hodges (1) gave a preliminary report of four young men in whom clinical disorders and metabolic faults were induced by a "diet" devoid of pantothenic acid, with omega-methylpantothenic acid, a vitamin antagonist (Figure 1). It is proposed here to describe details of the experiments, results, and some interpretations. The background for using molecular antagonists (2, 3) in human nutrit...
