Antagonism of L(-)pantothenic acid on lipid metabolism in animals.

Tissue coenzyme A in normal and induced states of growth.

Results of studies on pantothenic acid-deficient rats stimulated with anterior pituitary growth hormone (l-3) suggest involvement of pantothenic acid, or its metabolically active form, coenzyme A (4), in the mechanism by which growth hormone stimulates the growth process. Lotspeich (l), for example, describes the rapid production of symptoms of acute pantothenic acid deficiency as a sequel to t...

The modification of choline deficiency by simultaneous pantothenic acid deficiency.

It was found recently (1) that feeding a cholesterol-rich diet to pantothenic acid-deficient rats did not result in the fatty livers and high levels of cholesterol in liver and serum seen in comparable animals maintained on a normal diet. Decrease in food intake appeared not to account for this phenomenon, since the food intake of the deficient group on a body weight basis was higher than that ...

Effect of in ovo Injection of Nicotonic Acid, Pantothenic Acid or Folic Acid on Immune System and Growth of Broiler Chickens

BACKGROUND: In ovo injection of nutrients as an early feeding method in birds directly supplies the nu- trients to the developing embryo. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of in ovo injection of nicotonic acid, panto- thenic acid and folic acid on the performance and immune system of broilers. METHODS: </st...

Cholesterol metabolism in pantothenic acid deficiency.

The Effect of Chronic Intake of L-carnitine L-tartrate on Lipid Metabolism during Aerobic Exercise

Background & Aims: Despite 20 years of research, there is no compelling evidence about the effect of carnitine supplementation on improving physical performance in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of long term consumption of acute L-carnitine L-tartarate (LCLT) on fat metabolism and aerobic capacity. Methods: A total of 28 healthy nonathlete male students rece...
