Museum, Oxford): We meet today a t a time when reports on the part of Holland which has not been liberated are most distressing and ex. tremely alarming. I think, therefore, that this occasion cannot be passed over without expressing our hope that some of our Dutch friends, who are not able to join in today's discussions, will be restored to us safe and sound very soon. I am thinking especially...

The effects of dietary deficiencies on the blood pressure of rats were studied, with especial reference to vitamin B deficiencies. A deficiency of the entire vitamin B complex was followed by a slight fall in blood pressure. A deficiency of only thse heat-stable fractions was followed by a significant and persistent rise in pressure, which could be reversed by restoring these factors to the die...

This chapter provides a summary of physiological and therapeutic roles of members of the vitamin B complex and of vitamin C. The vitamin B complex comprises a large number of compounds that differ extensively in chemical structure and biological action. They were grouped in a single class because they originally were isolated from the same sources, notably liver and yeast. There are traditional...

The vitamin B(12) level and the capacity of serum to bind B(12) are higher in the West Indian population living in Great Britain than in Europeans. The B(12) level fell during pregnancy in both groups but remained higher in the West Indians. West Indians had higher levels of IgG.

In an attempt to repeat the study of Jansen and Donath (1927) on the isolation of antineuritic vitamin B we have made several observations of interest. Satisfactory description of this work necessarily involves the question as to the adequacy of the biological test employed in assaying the many fractions obtained. Inasmuch as there is no unanimity concerning the proper method to use when testin...
