Vitamin B1 in the animal organism

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is a watersoluble vitamin. It consists out of a pyrimidineand a thiazol ring, which are synthesized independently and linked afterwards.Vitamin B1 is de novo produced by many plants and microorganisms. Humans and animals have to take it up by nutrition. They are only able to do the phosphorylation reaction of the thiamin molecule. Thiamin is found free and as mono-, diand triphosphat...

Synthesis of Lecithin in the Animal Organism.*

The generally accepted view that the hydrolysis products of the fats in their transport across the intestinal wall recombine with the formation of triglycerides has led to the question as to the mechanism whereby such water-insoluble products as the neutral fats are transported in the circulating fluid to the tissues. A det,ailed study of this question has recently led Bloor (1) to postulate th...

Effect of chloridazone on the animal organism.

The acute toxic effect of the herbicide chloridazone and mitochondrial respiration were investigated and typical clinical signs of intoxication were described in rats (Wistar), pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and sheep (Slovak Merino). The LD50 of chloridazone was calculated to be for rats 800 mg/kg bw (range 552 to 1160 mg/kg bw) and for pheasants 3684 mg/kg bw (range 1768 to 7677 mg/kg bw). A...
